Mobile fab lab

The fab lab trailer is a 2007 Pace American Shadow GT Daytona dual axle (model SCX8528TA3).

Two graffiti artists from the South Bronx were invited to design and paint the sides and top of the trailer in two weekends.

Its maiden road trip from Chicago to Nevada to Boston included short visits to Black Rock City, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the Nebraska State Fair, Gadgetoff at the Liberty Science Center.

It is now loaned to organizations for months or longer, typically to help create a permanent lab in that location.

These have included Sustainable South Bronx; Lorain, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; and Washington, D.C.
