On Thursday, July 10, 2025, members of the Newtown Branch of AYLUS dedicated their time from 11:45 AM to 4:15 PM to volunteering at the FabLab Center (One Ivybrook Blvd., Ste. 190, Warminster, PA). FabLab is a STEAM learning center where children and youth of all ages can explore various technologies and skills related to science, engineering, art, and math. Today, the FabLab ran a summer camp exploring the science and technology of sports and music.
2 volunteers helped a group of 27 students utilize FabMaker Studio, a 2d designing software, to create custom designs that were printed. We helped the students log in, design, and print. Our volunteers ensured that each student ended with a design that they were satisfied with. After the students finished with their designs, our volunteers went in and fixed their designs to ensure that there would be no printing errors when put into the cutter. In addition, our volunteers helped set up Chrome Music Lab for the students to create their music and cleaned up the area afterward.
The event was very successful, with students being satisfied with their creations and progress. The students all built upon their artistic skills and learned how to design custom pieces. They also received enthusiastic help from our volunteers whenever there was a concern or technical issue.
Members who participated were Lucas Wu and Ryan He, both for 4.5 hours.
