Course Overview

What is a FabLab?

Fablabs provide widespread access to modern means for invention. They began as an outreach project from MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA). Fab labs have spread from inner-city Boston to rural India, from South Africa to the North of Norway and now to HRVHS.

Activities in fab lab will range from technological empowerment including peer-to-peer project-based technical training, local problem-solving, small-scale high-tech business incubation and grass-roots research. Projects being developed and produced in fab labwill be student driven. Examples of projects include Jewelry,lamps, signs, stickers, cell phone cases, robots, puzzles, pictures and other technological devices.
