Fab Lab
The Intermediate Unit 1 (IU1) Fab Lab and Mobile Fab Lab are technical platforms for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, workforce development, and business idea prototyping.
Students have the opportunity to explore the entire engineering design process in authentic and real world contexts by providing tools that enable them to go from concept to drawing, models to prototype, and redesign to final product. The IU1 Fab Labs give students the tools to develop the practical and critical thinking skills they will need to be the inventors and innovators of our future. The lab serves as a motivational environment to encourage student engagement with technology. The IU1 Fab Lab is a partnership between Chevron, the Fab Foundation, and Intermediate Unit 1.
