Dream It, Design It, Fab It!
Try your hand at manufacturing design, technology and engineering as you make an item in our fabrication laboratory, or Fab Lab. The Wanger Family Fab Lab is a small-scale workshop where you can dream up, design and make items from practical to whimsical using cutting-edge software and equipment. This 60-minute workshop lets you create your own keychain or seasonal gift on our computer software, then watch as your design is printed on acrylic plastic by a laser cutter. Held Tuesdays – Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. For ages 8 and older.
