The name StartUp Studio comes from the exhibit Start Up: The History of Personal Computing at museum, which pays tribute to Albuquerque’s important role in launching the personal computing and hacking revolution that is celebrated in the StartUp exhibition. StartUp Studio activities are designed to encourage hands-on electronics discovery built around the concepts of circuitry, programming, interactivity, and of course, the joy of making new things and repurposing old ones. StartUp Studio received seed funding from LANS, the consortium than operates Los Alamos National Laboratory.
