Makerspace
Fabrication Lab
In a climate context, it is vital to provide training and experiences to create solutions for biodiversity, renewable energy, carbon capture, and more! The purpose of our Fab Lab is to create a place to play, create, mentor, and invent, with a focus on sustainability.
As the Fab Lab becomes a hub for both training and employment services, our organization can work on expanding technical support and purchase more advanced equipment!
To make this happen we need interested community members like you to pursue these amazing interests with us! Join our community and work on behalf of your community.
There are 2 main ways to stay engaged:
Email List: We’ll keep you posted on what’s going on.
Guild: A little more hands on, a lot like a club!

Our Program
The Fab Lab will offer internships and paid work experience opportunities while providing training and technical assistance for job seekers and community members. Training and work experience in the Fab Lab will increase employability for individuals with all types of disabilities. Partnerships have been developed with local businesses and industry organizations to create a pipeline to high-paying jobs for disabled individuals.
