Help us make Lab 4
When The Edge was built there was always the intention to install Lab 4, the fabrication space. For a whole heap of reasons this dream didn’t come about, but the idea of it never went away. Fabrication activities continued, finding other little spaces around the building to nestle into. Edge users hacked The Room, built living dolls, learned about Arduino and had Beh in residence, teaching the mystic arts of circuit bending. But the time has finally come to give all these projects and the makers of The Edge community a home.
During the DIY Tech period (December to February) we will be designing, building and opening Lab 4 on Level 0 of The Edge. This is no temporary addition to The Edge, so we want your help to make sure it’s a useful, accessible and practical space.
Come and have your say. We’ll bring the pizza, you bring your opinion. What should the space be about? What equipment would you like in there (3D printers, laser cutting tables, sewing machines, power tools?). How could it be managed as a community resource?
For more information about Lab 4 and how to get involved, contact Daniel Flood daniel.flood@slq.qld.gov.au.
