FAB LABMission

Fablabs are a global network of local labs, enabling invention by providing access for individuals to tools for digital fabrication.

AccessYou can use the Fab lab to make almost anything (that doesn't hurt anyone); you must learn to do it yourself, and you must share use of the lab with other uses and users.

EducationTraining in the fab lab is based on doing projects and learning from peers; you're expected to contribute to documentation and instruction.
