Almost every day, 13-year-old Valerie Cameron-Goodwin carries a wooden business card etched with her name, email address and dream job: surgeon. She’s proud of what this card says — and prouder still that she made it herself using an industrial-grade laser cutter in a 32-by-8-foot trailer parked by her middle school’s front door.

Boston public high school students will be soon able to learn the answers to those questions and others through experience. That’s because a new mobile education lab will soon travel through Beantown, allowing kids to interact with computer-assisted design, 3-D printers, laser cutters and other tools and machines they won’t find at home and in their schools.
