Each semester, the Makerspace serves thousands of students on campus, integrating hands-on learning as they carry out their academic work. Students from various disciplines use the Makerspace to transform their ideas into realities that benefit the Wolfpack community. By partnering with faculty and corporate partners, we assist in producing graduates who have the skills that give them a competitive advantage when entering the workforce.
