Q: Who uses the CUCFL?
A: Our Fab Lab is open to the general public and we literally have folks from 8 to 80 years old using the lab. It also helps that we have a diverse group of patrons and volunteers who work with the Fab Lab.
We also reach alternative parts of the community through mini lab sites at The Urbana Free Library (teen open lab) and Tap In Leadership Academy, as well as through specific events and workshops held off-site.
Participants on-campus are roughly 50% students and 50% community members, including a mixture of artists, entrepreneurs, and hobbyists. Families are welcome though generally kids under 10 will not be able to get much out of a visit.
