Calling all inventors! Turn your idea into an item you make in our fabrication laboratory — or Fab Lab.
Ready to try your hand at manufacturing design, technology and engineering? 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.
For ages 10 and up. Children ages 10 to 12 must be with a Fab Lab-ticketed chaperone (18 or older).
