Introduction
TECFA and DKS, i.e. the institution and the guy who run this wiki do have some kind of Fab lab. According to the Fab Lab conformity self-rating I rate it CCBB: (1) closed or restricted user group, (2) no charter, (3) difficult to do most fab projects but we did produce tutorials, (4) very little, only passive, or no participation outside of local lab. However, I did produce useful tutorials.
Our intent is not to create a fab lab in the sense as these are defined by the FabLab community, but rather explore teaching of design and micro-fabrication in education. To do so, I decided to teach a little class to our master students in educational technology and to invite people from outside (i.e. teacher trainers/support from the local school system). Btw, you won't find a digitial piano in a fablab, but I focus on computer-aided design in general and music is fun :)
