Tech teacher builds ‘Fab Lab’ at DSHS

[dropcap]B[/dropcap]ecoming a teacher wasn’t something Jad Jadeja had envisioned prior to being hired by Dripping Springs ISD in 2007.

In fact, Jadeja, who worked previously in the technology industry, had his “arm twisted hard enough” before being persuaded to go into education.

Almost a decade later, Jadeja has molded Dripping Springs High into a Fabrication Lab, or Fab Lab, school, which was given to the district by the Massachusetts Institute for Technology earlier this year. Dripping Springs High is the first Texas school to receive a Fab Lab designation.
