Nova Labs[1] is a Makerspace in Reston, Virginia. Nova Labs was founded in 2012 to help people "Rediscover the Joy of Making Things" which is their current slogan. To enable this they operate a 10,500 sq ft of combined workshop and class space and maintain an active base of volunteers and members. The Makerspace is organized into shops, and provides classes on tool use and projects within each shop, including Woodshop, Metalshop, Blacksmithing, Lasercutting, Crafting, Sewing, 3D Printing, Electronics and Mixed Media.

One of the larger events to come out of Nova Labs membership is the Maker Faire NoVa [2], an event created by |Make that's known as the Greatest Show and Tell on Earth. Other notable events put on by Nova Labs include the Empower 2 Make [3] Make-A-Thon supporting individuals with special needs.

Nova Labs also hosts entrepreneurs, including a business space - notably working on drone technology and entering such in NIST competitions[4] and solar panels [5]. The space has recently begun to include more kids activities [6] and is now hosting the Nova Labs Makerschool [7] as well.
