Science Café Talks Fab Labs
Join David Richardson of Lorain County Community College on Tuesday, March 5, at 7 p.m. at the Infinity Restaurant, 267 W. Center Street, Marion, OH for our March Science Café, Fab Labs: Fabricating the Future.
Fab Labs are digital fabrication laboratories which use computers and tools that let (almost) anyone make (almost) anything. Fab Labs began at the turn of the century as outreach by MIT’s Center for Bits & Atoms. Its director, Prof. Neil Gershenfeld, created a community Lab in South Boston and cloned it outside the U.S. in Third World societies. Since then, more than 125 Fab Labs have taken root, about half of them in the United States. A flagship Fab Lab is at Ohio’s Lorain County Community College. It opened in June 2005 and was the first in the U.S. outside MIT. Like the fabled Bell Labs, Fab Labs encourage creativity, risk-taking, and strategic planning. For more information, see http://fab.cba.mit.edu/about/faq/
Prof. David Richardson is the Initiator and Director for Outreach for the United States Fab Lab Network. At this science café he will talk about The ABC’s of Fab and their use in education, business, and (especially) community development.

Confronting Plagiarism Workshop on Campus (Faculty & Staff Only Event)
"Confronting students who plagiarize work can be a very frustrating affair. The ubiquity of copy-and-pasteable information on the internet makes it easy for students to ignore their ethical responsibilities in academic research and writing. In this session, we will explore strategies that make it difficult for students to plagiarize and, more importantly, help them better understand ethical research and writing in various disciplines."
When: Tuesday, Feb 19, 12:15-1:10 pm
Where: Alber Center Training Room (Maynard 125), with teleconferencing to Delaware (room TBA)
Perks: Pizza will be available in Marion only (apologies to Delaware colleagues); please bring your own beverage.

The May session is considered the first part of the summer term, not the concluding part of the spring semester. Students enrolled full-time in spring semester may take up to three credits during the May session with no tuition costs. Other fees, however, will continue to be charged, if appropriate. Tuition for enrollment beyond three credits will also be charged. Credit hours earned in the May session will be added to credit hours earned in the summer session and summer term to determine eligibility for a student’s financial aid.
