Our Community - CITC Fab Lab!

http://www.adn.com/sites/default/files/styles/ad_slideshow_normal/public/CITC%20FabLab-4.jpg?itok=BpME9Vbj

  KNBA keeping you in tuned with Our Community! In today's segment, Danny Preston speaks with Fab Lab instructor, Tasha Ryder and artist Crhsity Oates! The Fab Lab started with CITC (Cook Inlet Tribal Council)  partnering with MIT (Massichusettes Institute of Technology). The lab features a variety of fabrication equipment. It is a space for students to come and learn how to use digital tools to create real life objects. Equipment includes two different 3D printers, a vinyl cutter, a sand blaster, silk screen printing capabilities, and many more items. This Saturday from 9AM - 3PM at the CITC Transportation Center on the first floor right across from 3600 San Jeronimo Drive, there will be an open house presentation featuring Lazer Marquetry! It is lazer cutting into wood, which results in beautiful woodwork objects with neat designs! For more information about the Fab Lab, visit: http://citci.org/2013/10/been-there-made-that/
