The Museum of Aviation, Robins AFB, GA, says progress is continuing on its new GEAR Lab as work inside the space moves forward. Furniture has started going together, giving the room more of a classroom feel, while the lab’s signage has also arrived and is being put in place. Staff noted that more computer equipment is still coming in as well, which will be used for future instruction focused on artificial intelligence, robotics, and other developing technologies.
GEAR, short for Georgia Engineering, AI, and Robotics, is intended to serve a range of users once complete, including high school students, community groups, and workforce training programs. According to the museum, the lab is being set up as a space where students and other participants can spend time working directly with newer technologies through classes and guided projects rather than just demonstrations. The goal is to have the GEAR Lab ready to begin operating in summer 2026. As part of that timeline, sign-ups have already opened for the public GEAR Lab summer camp sessions.
