Another thought would be to have the "Fabduino" or equivalent as part of the $100 fab lab:
A link to the Fabduino

And another with a parts list

And the .CAD file, for those who use the fab modules

which is taken from the fab academy class page

under the "IDE" subheading
Casting using various resins could also be a part of the 10^2 fab lab:
An inventory of resins and patterns could be provided which would allow for the construction something, for example hot gluing hydrostone elements?
