The Dripping Spring High School Fab Lab serves all students in the school district, and will be available for use by 2 new schools coming to the district beginning fall 2017.

The Dripping Spring High School Fab Lab is a space for hands-on creation, exploration, and innovation that serves students and faculty as well as designers, artists, entrepreneurs, and other professionals in Texas working in STEAM. We will equip the community with problem solving skills, technical expertise, and real world experience in iterative design, data application, and entrepreneurial invention, while fostering connections between the local and global community and higher education.

We engage in design, manufacture, redesign and refinement as a regular practice. Our current course offerings are UTeach Engineering Technology 1 & 2 from UT Austin, Applied Physics, Robotics Engineering, CAD, Computer Programming I, Programming II and AP Computer Science.

We are also planning on hosting Summer Tech Camps for 4th and 5th graders. These camps will extend our reach and raise funds for our Inventors Club.
