Fab Lab Community BBQ!

Welcome in the spring with us at our annual community BBQ. This next Sunday, May 4th, the lab will be hosting a celebration of volunteers, graduating students, new staff, grants and continued good times. We'll have an open grill with some meat and some kind of vegetarian option, but please feel free to bring your own dish. We'll kick the fire off around noon and continue on in to open hours.

Volunteers are highly encouraged to attend so that they can meet some of our new student staff helping us with workshops this summer!
