the project
We want to bring digital fabrication technology to the Glenville neighborhood, and experts from around the world to work with residents on projects and ideas for learning, community development, and entrepreneurship.
There continues to be a significant tech divide that leaves African-American communities behind and unable to leverage technology for the growing STEM opportunities in school, work, and business. Launching this project in a community that's over 90% African-American will provide residents access to technology in a familiar and supportive environment.
We are fundraising for the early stages of this project. We need your help to support operations and administrative infrastructure. Including insurance, permits, outreach, and marketing materials.
the steps
To launch this project we need to secure permits, obtain insurance, design space layout and renderings, identify advisors and ambassadors, and secure legal and accounting services. The culminating event for this first phase of the project will be an urban barn-raising event with residents and community supporters.
why we're doing it
Cleveland's renaissance has not hit Glenville yet, and there is a great need to bring resources to the neighborhood right now. Digital Fabrication is cutting edge technology that residents can use to prepare for the workforce, build businesses, improve their education, and create for fun and play. There are approximately 1.2M people in Cuyahoga County and a dozen makerspaces/Fab Labs. In addition to their limited capacity to serve the population, unless you are affiliated or feel like a welcome part of those institutions, people from neighborhoods like Glenville are not using them. Fab House is a new model breaking down barriers of acceptance and providing access through proximity right in the heart of the neighborhood. At Fab House residents will be able to explore and use digital fabrication tools like 3 D printing and electronics to address community and personal needs while tapping an international network of experts.

We received a Neighbor Up Action grant to create and distribute more PPE Kits for the Glenville residents and to hire a neighborhood youth for a micro-internship this summer.
