Workshops

Our Workshops are:

  • Free and open to anyone in the UW community (students, staff, faculty, alumni). No Lab Membership fee or prior training required.
  • Designed to help students get over the initial hurdle of learning something new – in a fun and social setting.

  • Created and taught by Makerspace staff.
  • About 1 to 2 hours long.
  • First come, first served. Please show up early, and sign in to our workshop form with the instructor. If you have questions, you can email maker-contact@engr.wisc.edu.
  • Meant to supplement classroom learning with hands-on experiences, help with projects, or inspire future endeavors (personal or academic)! They’re skill-based, and lay a foundation for future projects.
