Causes: Children and Youth, Education, Entrepreneurship
Tech Frontier dba Fab Lab El Paso was founded in 2014 with the goal of making advanced technology accessible to youth and the under-resourced. Tech Frontier’s Mission is driven by 3 major pillars of purpose — all focused on achieving excellence in the regional workforce and rapidly-evolving tech economy.
1. K–12 STEAM Education
Inspiring the next generation of innovators through Tech Frontier’s youth STEAM programming, Fab Lab El Paso, that runs camps and project-based workshops out of La Nube STEAM Discovery Center.
2. Workforce Development
Equipping developing professionals with no-cost and low-cost certifications and micro-credentials through expert-led learning pathways.
3. Community Innovation
Tech Frontier is reopening its downtown community makerspace in 2026 with the support of 2025 El Paso Giving Day Donors! Back in 2022, during the COVID Pandemic, Tech Frontier (Fab Lab El Paso) had to freeze its in-person operations, leaving the greater El Paso community without access to an innovative space. This year, we are on a mission to reopen the space and establish the Tech Frontier Community Makerspace.
Each donation will support innovators in El Paso by funding the Tech Frontier Community Makerspace and reopening its doors to the city. With the support of the 2025 El Paso Giving Day donors we are launching the first phase of reopening the makerspace for a select period of time. For a limited time a week, the newly reinstated space will provide cutting edge tools, such as Laptops, 3D Modeling Software, 3D Printers and Fabrication Tools to guests. In order to maintain safety and organization, use of tools and equipment will be appointment-based using a scheduler that will be introduced during the grand opening in 2026. As we continue fundraising, we will expand our hours to make the Community Makerspace fully operational once again.
BONUS: Every $40 donated grants you 1 raffle entry into our Makerverse Raffle for a chance to win a Bambu 3D Printer & Meta VR Headset!
At Fab Lab, we are not just catalysts for innovation in the El Paso community; we are dedicated to nurturing a tech ecosystem that is community-first, human-centric, and radically inclusive. To view past initiatives and programs check out the links below!
