The Fab Lab initiative is significant enough to create a Fab Lab consortium. A statewide group that will get together that consist of all the educational institutions that have a Fab Lab, to bring them together on a regular basis...."The group will discuss strategy, curriculum, funding and other aspects of setting up and running the state of the art lab. Sidlowski agreed to chair the group which met for the first time recently in Crandon.
