What inspired you to make this project?
The purpose of our FabLab is to instill in users a sense of responsibility and to make them think about the life cycle of their products. By conducting workshops on sustainable design and the use of recycled materials, the laboratory emphasizes the importance of environmentally friendly production processes, which corresponds to global efforts to combat environmental degradation.
Open production workshops for young people, allowing them to learn, create and implement innovations, as well as contribute to the sustainable development of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The idea is to equip and expand the opportunities of the youth of the Republic of Uzbekistan with the most advanced world technologies that contribute to the development of society as a whole and allow to solve the practical tasks of the real sector of the economy, while ensuring equal participation of the female part of the youth. We were also inspired by the rapid pace of technology development.
