We’re launching a new series of workshops this year! Come build up your toolkit for making and design thinking through fun, hands-on activities ranging from making a flipbook to programming a mini computer!
Current workshops, with more to come!
Intro to Prototyping and the Makerspace (September 3rd, 9:30-11, November 24th, 2-3:30)
Come get familiar with the Makerspace, and get a crash course in rapid prototyping while you’re at it!
Intro to Handsewing (September 15th, 2-3:30, September 17th, 9:30-11)
Have you ever wondered how to repair your clothing? Add buttons or embroidery? Now’s the time! Come learn some simple hand-stitching techniques while making some fun dorm decorations!
Intro to Technical 3D modelling (Fusion 360) (September 29, 2-3:30, October 1, 9:30-11)
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to make a simple plant pot or vase, with the option to 3D print it! We’ll go over the basics of Fusion 360, as well as learn how to set up a 3D print for success.
Intro to Animation (October 15, 9:30-11)
We’ll talk about the fundamentals of 2D animations, some good options for animation software, and make a flip book!
Intro to Blender (October 27, 2-3:30, October 29, 9:30-11)
This workshop will be a cursory introduction to Blender, a 3D modelling software similar to what Pixar uses for animation. You will learn how to add and manipulate shapes, add textures, and render images.
Intro to Arduino (November 10, 2-3:30, November 12, 9:30-11)
Learn the basics of how to put together a circuit using an Arduino microcontroller, and then how to control it using code!
