Fab Lab - Open Build Session - 3:00 to 6:45 p.m.

The MCC-BTC Fab Lab is offering a special afternoon/evening build session for Fab Lab members and non-members to experience what the lab has to offer. We're offering a planned activity to help you learn about the Laser engraver while making laser cut trinket boxes.

To keep this simple the sides and bottom will be cut out ahead of time. You have the chance to get creative with the top of your box. You can find clip art, bring in a photo or image you like, or create your own art work. The lid measures almost 2.75" by 3.25". Enough room to create a nice design. Please RSVP at MakersMail@MakeKC.org so we'll know how many to expect.

Show & Tell - 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
