FabLab Education runs half-day STEAM maker camps for youth ages 8-15 at its Tacoma lab, where campers use 3D printers, laser cutters, electronics, and Python coding to build take-home projects. Camps run Monday-Friday in a morning session (9am-12pm) or an afternoon session (1pm-4pm), typically two to five days per theme; past and current themes include Python and Raspberry Pi coding, Sphero robot programming, 3D printing, pinball and arcade electronics, maker music, sewing, and anime crafts. FabLab is a nonprofit, and camps are supported in part by Tacoma Creates, which funds scholarships for City of Tacoma residents.

★★★★Carl ZarelliIt is nice to have a place like this. I have taken two classes here. But as we all know it comes down to the instructor.they have a number of options available ,such as cnc , 3 d printing. Some of which I want to take advantage of.
