Frequently asked
Good to know before you visit.
Members pay an access fee, similar to a gym membership, which covers use of the lab's tools and machines. Get in touch through our contact page to discuss membership and project needs.
Yes — teams further along in development can sublet incubator-style space from us as they build their product, in line with the shared Fab Charter that commercial activity should grow beyond, not within, the lab.
Yes. Alongside open-access machine time, we run courses through the Fab Design Academy using adaptive learning methods, plus flagship programs like ESTEM, SHE-BUILD and the KIEP-SKIES tech bootcamp.
We're located at Nyamonge, along Kibos-Chiga Road, Kisumu, Kenya — serving innovators across the country, with a focus on the Lake Basin region. See our contact page for the map and directions.
