Stuff kwartzlab needs
The three core elements of kwartzlab are people, projects, tools. We've established the first two and now we are working hard to build out our capabilities through tool acquisition. Our plan is to equip the space with sufficient tools and materials so that we can go from idea to prototype in a matter of hours. Below is a non-exhaustive list of tools on our capabilities roadmap that directly support rapid prototyping. If you would like to accelerate our progress through donations of tools, materials, or money, please contact the board (info@kwartzlab.ca)
