What is a Fab Lab?
A fab lab is a workshop or space equipped with a wide variety of computer-controlled tools and machines. It is designed with the purpose that almost any idea for a project can be produced by an individual or group. The AHS Fab Lab has an emphasis for its students to develop higher-order thinking skills, use the design process to solve problems, and to increase college and career readiness skills.
