Workshops
Throughout the year, the Makerspace is host several different workshops introducing the space, the machinery, and how they can be used. Please visit the pages dedicated to each workshop for more detailed information on what programs are used and how to use them. If you are an instructor and would like to create a new workshop in the Makerspace, please contact Professor Pinkas for further information.
Due to the shift towards virtual learning, many of the workshops listed are designed in mind for use at home as well as in the physical makerspace. Materials listed can be found easily in the home or purchased though physical or online shopping.
