What is a FabLab?
FabLabs are part of what is called “innovative pedagogy.” Informal and cooperative learning is encouraged by focusing on the creation of objects that can range from robots to 3D prints to new handcrafted creations. FabLabs emphasize experimentation, practice and autonomy.
A FabLab is a place of creation, learning, invention, innovation and mentoring. FabLabs provide access to unique skills, diverse materials and advanced technologies to allow anyone, anywhere, to do almost anything. FabLabs share the goal of making technical invention tools accessible to everyone.
