#FabDoesNotWait
The Fab Foundation Forum Initiative invites you to participate in a series of global panel talks, moderated by regional leaders from across the network.
Each week, a group of fabbers, makers and experts will share their unique experiences and insights gained during the Covid-19 response efforts in their region, kickstarting a larger reflection on the future of the Network. An open discussion will follow and we hope you will join us to share your thoughts and play an active role in shaping our community.
All over the world, fab labs were engaging in the construction of critical supplies and personal protective equipment (PPE), respirators, and other clinical items, using tools and techniques such as 3D printing, sewing, repurposing factory equipment, and other skills and ways of thinking. The fab labs in the Arab region were part of this initiative, not just by supporting the healthcare industry, but also by empowering the community in participating in this initiative. This led to a community that is curious about sustainability and livability that depends on collective action and co-designed solutions. Join the Fab Arab Network to know more about the network movement toward Fab City model, and how the initiatives that were founded to defeat COVID-19 were able to aware the local communities about the importance of the Fab Lab urban model.
