Fab Labs

The video discusses Fab Labs, small workshops equipped with tools like laser cutters and wood routers, enabling communities to create various items. Originating from MIT, Fab Labs have had global impacts, such as creating circuit boards in Ghana and tracking devices in Norway. The concept involves translating digital designs into physical objects. Supported by the National Science Foundation, Fab Labs have expanded rapidly. While the setup cost is high for individuals, it's accessible for schools and communities, encouraging repeated use and innovation.
