Student Planning & Education Committee

The Student Planning & Education Committee (SPEC) is a multifaceted leadership development program designed for high school students. Through SPEC, volunteers gain valuable technical and life skills by designing and leading their own camps and classes for younger children. With access to cutting-edge equipment and resources at the Fab Lab and guidance from professional educators, SPEC instructors are empowered to create unique, hands on programs for the community. This near-peer teaching model not only deepens young learners' engagement and understanding of educational concepts but also builds confidence, communication and leadership skills among the teen instructors themselves.
