Fab labs are sort of like the shop classroom in high school -- but instead of welding equipment and wood cutters, there are 3D printers, laser engravers, plasma cutters, and other high-tech tools used in digital design and fabrication. We talk about the fab lab grant program and what it means for Wisconsin schools.
