The Force Readiness Center East's FABLAB gives middle school students an introduction to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) projects. The Fleet Support Team’s Advanced Technology and Innovation Team supports the outreach program.
High-tech equipment including computers, 3D printers, and a laser cutter are housed in the FABLAB trailer and taken to schools. Students learn from engineers and a former teacher about coding, robotics, and more. The goal of FABLAB is to encourage North Carolina youth to pursue technology-related educations and careers.
