Blue Ridge/University of Arizona 4-H Fab Lab Uses Roland Technology to Get Local Youth Groups Excited About STEM Education

By utilizing open-source technologies, the Pima County 4-H Chapter plans to create new projects for young people interested in the STEM field, and will use the lab’s real-world production capabilities.

With groups such as the White Mountain Apache STEM Program and area 4-H chapters visiting the facility, word about the Blue Ridge/UA 4-H FAB LAB is spreading. “Awareness of our lab and the great learning opportunities we offer is growing rapidly,” said Woolridge. “There’s already significant interest in establishing a “mini” Fab Lab in Tucson to complement our main Blue Ridge/UA 4-H facility in Pinetop-Lakeside.”
