Fab Lab Miami

How do you design a home on ? You start with a cube. Little by little, that cube gets a pyramid as a roof, a cube attachment for the garage, a cube attachment for the second floor, and finally the addition of the furniture inside of the home. Once the home basics are in place, students are encouraged to expand their home concepts to reflect their dream home. But it all starts with that first cube as the home’s foundation.

Fab Lab Miami uses 3D architecture as a learning tool to teach youth participants about 3D design and digital fabrication.

Happy National STEM/STEAM Day!

And that’s a wrap! Our week-long STEAM programming at the .official Curious Minds’ STEM Academy at in Liberty City came to a close, but not without the students showcasing their home designs.

After searching for an open lot in Miami Dade County, students then started to design homes to fit inside that lot using and before printing their homes.

Students used 3D printers, while other students built their homes using wood panels they cut per their specifications using the cutters.

Once again, thank you to the Jasón Tapia from and from .house for enriching our programming with a professional perspective to architecture, design, artificial intelligence, digital fabrication, and the arts.

Teamwork makes the dream work. This week the cohort built robots in groups of two using the STEAM kits. We even had a chance to race the robots at the end of the session.

We had a loads of STEAM fun last week as we welcomed our first cohort of the summer, the . Their first lesson was on digital design and laser cutting using software and the cutter.

Great news for STEM programming in Liberty City. This week .official & launched the Curious Minds STEM Academy at the Carrie P. Meek Entrepreneurial Education Center.

High school students that register for the STEM Academy this summer will get the chance to earn college credit while learning about cyber security, coding, circuits, biology, digital fabrication, architecture, and much more.

Fab Lab Miami is a proud partner of Bank United’s Curious Minds STEM Academy, which will give us the chance to continue to inspire and nurture the pursuit of coursework and careers in STEAM through a maker-driven, hands-on experience with digital fabrication and STEAM activities. The future looks bright 💡.
