We are always happy to spread the news when a Fab Lab opens… so here is an article from Bonners Ferry, Idaho about their brand new Fab Lab
Anderson Launches Library’s MIT Fab Lab
Boundary County Library Director, Craig Anderson, has the vision, and a mission, to create a state-of-the-art learning center, geared toward further education, economic basics and technology for the residents of Boundary County.
Next month, the library will be launching its MIT-affiliated Fab Lab, technically known as Massachusetts Institute of Technology Center for Bits and Atoms Fab(rication) Laboratory. In 2013, MIT extended the library an invitation to establish the Fab Lab, bringing cutting-edge technology and innovation right here to Bonners Ferry.
What is a Fab Lab? It is an interdisciplinary initiative exploring the boundary between computer science and physical science. CBA studies how to turn data into things, and things into data.
In short, if you can dream it, you can build it at the Fab Lab.
