Fab Lab Solihull is part of the Birmingham & Solihull Youth Promise Plus project. Youth Promise Plus is an Employment Pathway Project supported by the European Social Fund and Youth Employment Initiative. It is part-funded by the European Social Fund. It will give people aged 15-29 who are not in a job, education or training the chance to unleash their creativity on technology including a 3D printer and scanner, a CNC router, t-shirt printer and embroidery machine.
They will be given four weeks of free tutoring on how to use the technology after which they will be given advice about how they can progress their own business or career aspirations.
This is the general thread for discussing the lab; the thread is also visible on its page at https://www.fablabs.io/solihullfablab
