About Fab Lab Gwangju
The Fab Lab Gwangju Makerspace in Gwangju, South Korea, South Korea, is a dedicated innovation centre for students, engineers, and creative professionals. it combines professional-grade fabrication equipment — including 3D printers, laser cutters, and microcontroller development kits — with a supportive community of makers and mentors. The lab actively supports the STEM ecosystem in South Korea by hosting workshops on topics ranging from robotics and AI to sustainable design and product development. Entrepreneurs benefit from rapid prototyping capabilities that compress the distance between idea and market-ready product. Fab Lab Gwangju stands as proof that when tools, knowledge, and community come together, extraordinary things are built.
Description
- Special session:
1Day Class for beginners
ex) acrylic keyring, acrylic mood light, make somthing as 3D pen, make waterball include "shrinkles" and the other 1Day class session
- Daily session:
teaching how to use digital fabrication tools including a laser cutter, 3D printer.
- Monthly workshop:
focused to a specific that is related to open-source hardware and software such as Arduino, open-source drone and various DIY projects.
- Bi-monthly forum:
share and introduce emerging technology that has an impact on our society by inviting professionals in the field.
- Special session:
A 6-week-long program that allows the public to prototype their idea that involves digital fabrication process. Each individual is encouraged to make whatever they want and we provide professional assistance during the process.
- Yearly hacker-thon:
we host hacker-thon mainly focused on "AI & IoT"
Anyone can join the programs that we offer and use the required tools depending on the condition or program at no charge.
The goal of this lab is to spread maker culture in this city by providing free access to the tools and also giving an opportunity to make and share their own creation.
