Because "Adulting" Can be Hard...Join Us at Adulting 101!

Some of us cannot wait to get out of college and get into the "real world" then we quickly realize just how good we had it in "the good ol' days."

Some of us are more prepared than others. Some of us have mountains of college debt, others none at all. Some of us are still eating our staple ramen soup....some of us are a bit more sophisticated. Some of us have landed our dream job or created it from scratch....others are staring at their computers desperate for a different path. For those feeling overwhelmed and unsure of their next financial or career step, enter "Adulting 101."

Adulting 101 is an entertaining yet serious class perfect for any millennial looking for a little bit of enlightenment and guidance. Join us on September 19th from 6-7:30 PM at the Mill Auditorium located at 1007 N Orange Street Wilmington, DE. Tickets can be purchased here. 

Topics covered include finding your purpose; aligning your passion and purpose to a career; navigating personal finances including student loans; funding your entrepreneurial vision, and bridging generational gaps in the workplace. 

This class is generously hosted by Accelerate Delaware.

Next Fab Wilmington's New Playground for Creatives

Creatives rejoice! Your exclusive clubhouse is now right in your backyard and offers a multi platform innovative space for you to make your wildest ideas a reality!

Have you ever had a brilliant idea but wasn't sure how to execute it, or where to start?

Next Fab is the answer. Newly opened at 503 N Tatnall Street, Wilmington, DE, Next Fab has all the tools you need from creating your piece to getting it on shelves and in front of the public.

Offering eight unique membership options, Next Fab has something for everyone. From the individual who wants to dip their toes in the water and explore a particular trade or class, to the full-blown corporation that needs a creative space and the newest technology available. You can even bring your visionary child, ages  10-17 to set their imagination on fire!

When you join, you have access to all three Next Fab locations. The one in Wilmington specifically offers 3D printing and scanning, design software, electronics, laser cutting, engraving and a state-of-the-art woodworking facility.  The additional facilities also offer textiles, jewelry making, metalworking and 2D printing and photography. Feeling a bit overwhelmed, but know you have a stellar idea? They can even make the products for you!

What separates Next Fab from the competition is their team. Comprised of life-long tradesmen and women, their human knowledge resource cannot be beat. They are willing to drill down the process and make it as easy as possible for you to make your dream project a reality. 

What we love? The Next Fab team and members have collaborated on some extraordinary projects to change the world.  From creating specialized helmets to deaf/hearing impaired assistive devices, solving current issues with futuristic technology is happening at Next Fab. While touring the facility we even got to see some 3D printed "whistles" that are used by the paralyzed to communicate.

Next Fab has already started making an impact in Wilmington, helping create the Wilmington Green Box Kiosk. 

We can't wait to see what the ingenious individuals of our city come up with next at Next Fab!!
