Fab Lab
When humans can’t take that “one small step” onto another planet, they send in robots. Build a rover and test it on alien terrain, test your skills with an interplanetary claw machine, and discover the secret code hidden on the Mars rover. Plus, see the evolution of printing from our Victorian Era printing press to our 3D printers. Want to 3D print something? Ask about the Pay to Print program! |
