Now a global community of builders of all skill levels and backgrounds, the fab lab network grew from a single maker facility at MIT first developed by Neil Gershenfeld and Mel King.

The Geffen Academy at UCLA for years touted its state-of-the-art makerspace. But behind closed doors, the program was rife with safety violations that endangered the academy’s teenage pupils, according to students, faculty and public records.

The Mel King Community Fellowship Program at MIT was founded by its namesake in 1970 and continues connecting changemakers across a range of social justice issues.

The “fab lab” was born at MIT in the early 2000s, with the idea that having access to basic computer-controlled fabrication devices, such as a digital printer, a laser cutter and a milling machine, would allow you to make (almost) anything. Wildly popular with MIT students, the concept quickly spread, with many cities adding a fab lab or “maker space” to their innovation ecosystems. The Fab Lab Network now claims more than 1,750 fab labs around the world, in more than 100 countries.
