Virtual Tours
Welcome to the FabConnectHer Virtual Tour Series
Here you can discover the Fab Labs and Maker Spaces in our network, meet the teams behind them, explore their facilities, and the work they are doing in their communities.
We are starting with a virtual tour of 5 Fab Labs and Maker Spaces, our FabConnectHer partners in León, Spain, Dundalk, Ireland, Reykjavik, Iceland and Porto, Portugal. Over time, this page will grow to showcase 20 Fab Labs and Maker Spaces across Europe, sharing their spaces, tools, programmes, and community impact.
When we see Fab Labs and Maker Spaces in action, we can imagine what is possible in our own communities.
