Labs That Are Replicating Projects:
Replication Overview
Our goal is to accelerate knowledge transfer within the Fab Lab Network through project replication.
Fab Lab project replications Grants are on hold until further notice, we provided grants when we could fund raise for them from donors.
How This Grant Is Unique
Fab Lab Connect offers projects which can be replicated in your Fab Lab.
Project Owner
Sharing with the community for Replication of the project could lead to further product development, new market access and new applications.
Fab Lab where project is replicated
Cost of materials, mentorship & support are covered.
Accelerating learning through the MIT Media Lab Constructionism approach:
– Project based learning
– Hands-on
– Teamwork
We believe in rapid prototyping (failure is part of the process) and close collaboration with the global Fab Network.
