Description

We are a fablab specialized in the creation of machines, the creation of musical instruments, works of art, crafts, games. Linked to an institution for people with disabilities. Linked to different primary and secondary schools. Creates links with other associations in sustainable development (ecological and social), with museums in the region and small artisans. We are also trying different approaches in sustainable development by starting soon the search for funds to manufacture our Precious Plastic machines to grind plastic waste in order to mold them into new objects. We are currently experimenting with the recycling of electoral panels (votes) to make boxes, games and decorations.
