Savannah's  Maven Makers will also be on hand to give attendees a small-scale preview of the FabLab  (short for fabrication laboratory), a place for people to design, build, test and introduce new products into the marketplace, thereby generating new jobs and advancing the city’s economic development. “We’re excited to have our entrepreneurs give a pitch and have our Dean drum up support for our activities at City Campus,” said Dominique Halaby, director of the Center for Entrepreneurial Learning and Leadership.
