Where are you located? FabVille
is located on the far east side of the Somerville High school campus
(library side). To get to the Fab Lab, enter near the gym and go down
the stairs to your right, turn left and head to the end of the hallway.
We're at the very end of the Voc Ed department, last door on the right.
Who can come? Anyone
is welcome, but the Fab Lab is primarily geared toward late middle
schoolers, high schoolers, and adults. It's a professional toolset, and
there's less of the "pull something out and build it!" that we have at
Parts and Crafts. Kids 13 and under should plan to come with a
grown-up.
Does it cost anything? All
classes and workshops are offered free of charge. This includes
advanced classes like Arduino robotics, lasercutting and 3D printing,
and materials for small-scale manufacturing.
Who runs the Fab Lab? The
Fab Lab is run by the City of Somerville in partnership with Parts and
Crafts, a kid workshop and community makerspace located at
577 Somerville Ave. To find out more about our programs, visit
