• For personal projects on machines: We ask that students bring or purchase their own material to use in the machines.
Is the Makerspace open on weekends?
Unfortunately, the Makerspace is not open during weekends. Although we hope to be able to offer this in the near future!
Do I have to be trained to use machines and spaces in the Makerspace?
While we do not require users to be trained in order to use machines and spaces in the Makerspace, we do highly recommend seeking training from student workers or CIDL staff. Online training courses are availble for certain machines, while others are available in person, on an ad hoc basis.
