FabLab: educational innovation for students
Friday March 24th, 2017
The next and final episode in the FabLab series, which takes a look at the creative spaces playing a significant role in creating sustainable, innovative neighbourhoods.
The relation established between work spaces and company performance is bringing about new places for creativity, collaboration and innovation in offices.
FabLabs offer companies the freedom to test their innovations in a workshop and reduce the time between design and prototype creation.
