Maker Lab - Fountaindale Public Library (original) (raw)

We’ve fully integrated our desktop fabrication machines into Studio 300. Take advantage of this DIY maker technology by:

• Completing a virtual Studio 300 Orientation
• Completing a separate virtual safety instruction session
• Getting detailed machine instructions before use from our staff.

After that, you may stop by and use our maker machines anytime Studio 300 is open.
