Description
The Fab Lab on Wheels initiative is a mobile Fab Lab housed in a bus promoting the message of “Tour. Educate. Create.” The bus will tour various governorates to provide local communities with accessibility to fabrication equipment and workshops, enabling community members in Egyptian governorates to materialize their ideas and concepts.
By utilizing open source design software and a variety of computer controlled machines, as well as practical workshops, the community will be able to design and fabricate anything they can conceive.
The idea was conceived by Giza Systems Foundation and Fab Lab Egypt, who then partnered with DELL EMC to bring the initiative to life.
