The Fablab Itabuna is at Bahia that although rich in natural and economic resources, faces very serious problems as our main river turned into sewage, drought and salt water being delivered for the population use and drink, extreme violence and true dengue, zika virus and chikunguny, epidemies.
In this scenario our Fablab appears as a special place for people and ideas gathering to solve the problems we face.
