This Fab Lab is part of a $10 million commitment by Chevron to the Fab Foundation to bring Fab Labs to areas where Chevron operates across the country. Chevron sponsored Fab Labs are located in California, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania; with plans for Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. This is part of Chevron’s social investment initiative to bring hands-on, project-based learning to students to ensure they can develop the critical thinking, problem solving and analytical skills to succeed in the jobs of the future.
