Unleash your creativity!
A makerspace is a community space where people get together to learn how to think, make, and create. In Introduction to Makerspaces, students will learn about Sally Ride Science (SRS) Makerspace. This core class will introduce the student to the software and hardware of makerspaces, such as CNC Mills, virtual and augmented reality, FDM and SLA Printers, and electronics. Additionally, this class will teach students property safety, regulations, rules, policies, procedures, and handling of materials such as resin, wood, metal, and plastic. By the end of the workshop, students will be prepared and choose a maker pathway of their own.
What You Will Learn
Students in this course will be able to:
- Understand the basics and differences of various 3D printers and the software needed to create 3D prints.
