The first FabLab@School in a high-school started construction in late 2009 and was officially opened on June 2011. The lab is located at the 1502 MPEI high-school in Moscow, Russia, and was generously funded by Euan Baird, former CEO of the Schlumberger Corporation, and implemented in partnership withSchlumberger's educational foundation,SEED. Since the opening, students at the lab have won several international prizes in science and engineering.

FabLab@School #3 (2012) Castilleja School, Palo Alto, USA
The third FabLab@School came about with a 2-year agreement for lab implemenation, professional development, and research with the Castilleja School, an all-girls school in Palo Alto. We opened the lab on March 2012 and have held several teacher preparation programs. The girls' work was featured on the Thinguiverse/Makerbot website, and also on the Mercury News.
