The summer bootcamp is an active workshop part of the Future Artist Makers programme, which gives artists, students and recent graduates an insight into how digital fabrication can enhance their future creative careers, offering the opportunity to participate in an artistic project, to develop skills and their portfolio of work.

Fab Lab Limerick will cover the traveling costs of one artist/creative per project and their accommodation during the celebration of the bootcamp, as well as materials, training & use of all Fab Lab Limerick equipment.
