Roadmap Delivery of large-form CNC table
Vinyl cutter?
Formal establishment of links to FabLab network?
Larger community access? What level?

Issues and Opportunities
Room has no service entrance for large equipment
No soundproofing
Material sourcing and funding dependent on school budget two years into the future
Linkages to other laboratories still being established
Creativity trials with TRIZ (thanks to Engr. Irving Guerrero, PSHS Class of 1971-B)
