Idaho Exhibition of Ideas

IDX - Idaho Exhibition of Ideas

Opportunity Goals & Objectives

The goal of Idaho Exhibition of Ideas (formerly FabSLAM Student Showcase) is to equip students with the practical, technical, and creative skills needed to engage with real-world problems of today and tomorrow.

Brief Description

The Idaho Exhibition of Ideas is a public showcase where teams comprised of students grades 5 through 9 present their solution to a real-world challenge using 3d design and printing technology. Each year a unique theme is announced, and teams of four to six students work for multiple weeks on designing a unique and innovative solution to present to a team of judges at the Exhibition.
