[FabLab Sunderland](http://www.FabLabSunderland.org) combines a workspace, community maker-space and learning zone – encouraging artists, inventors, students and businesses to collaborate, exchange ideas and make things. Linked to a global network of 500 other FabLabs across the world it's a place where anyone can make (almost) anything using industrial-grade digital fabrication and electronics tools, wrapped in open source software and programs written by researchers at MIT. It can be used for education, technological empowerment, skills and technical training, team building, individual projects, problem solving, grass roots research, high tech business incubation or to turbocharge your prototype to market to name but a few! **In fact the possibilities are endless.**
