Farset Labs
If you don’t already know about this hidden gem of the maker scene then take this opportunity to get a taste of what Farset Labs has to offer. Farset will be bringing a selection of toys to the NIDC Maker Village for you to try your hand with, including their legendary Battlebots: an arena where DIY robots battle to the death.
Farset Labs is a community funded and volunteer operated charity, opened in 2012. Home to a creative community of technological tinkerers, Farset houses a workshop kitted out with an ever-growing list of facilities (including 3D printing, laser cutting, and electronics tools), an event space, and co-working facilities. Be sure to visit them in the NIDC Maker Village to learn all about their full calendar of upcoming events
