After some delay we were finally able to get the Mobile FabLAB from MIT to its temporary home at The Point CDC in the South Bronx. Miquela, her father Stephen (who flew out from Oregon to drive the trailer for us), and myself met up with the fab lab folks at MIT to test out the machines, go over some details about driving the trailer, and then hit the road! Amy Sun passed on to us all the wisdom she obtained while driving the trailer around the country this summer, help us arrive with the lab’s contents all intact. We’re working w/ electricians and people at The Point to get power to the lab within a week.

The Mobile Lab is currently parked at The Point, outside the theater.

As explained in the About section, the Mobile Lab is on loan to Sustainable South Bronx for a year, during which time it will help build the permanent infrastructure. In the present time it’ll be used as the space for fabrication sessions for the community.
