Mobile Fab Lab
The Mobile Fab Lab is a collection of digital fabrication machines, similar to the main Fab Lab at Kennedy High School, housed in a 30-foot trailer, pulled by a pickup truck. Inside the trailer, machines can be powered using a (very loud) gas generator, or by running extension cords from a building. Alternately, each machine is modular, and can be rolled out of the trailer into a classroom, a multi-purpose room, or wherever they will be used.
Mobile Fab Lab machines include:
- 3D Printers
- Laser Cutters
- Vinyl Cutters
- Milling Machines
- Electronics Workbench
- CNC Router
If you are interested in reserving the Mobile Fab Lab for your classroom or event, here are some questions to consider:
- Where will the Mobile Lab be parked?
- What machines will you plan to use?
- Will you run power to the trailer, use the generator, or plug machines into the wall?
- To what classroom standards will the activities align?
- What support are you expecting from the Fab Lab staff?
- How will you and your staff direct or support the activities?
- What kind of training will you, your staff, or your students need in advance of the visit?
