The University of Washington puts a makerspace in the dorms
Submitted to Show Off
Over the last several years we have
heard more and more about the makerspace movement and in particular its
progression into libraries and schools. The University of Washington has taken
it one step further by putting a makerspace inside a residence hall so that all
students have access to tools and are able to make things. This short video
from the university shows how students are using the makerspace and what they
are doing with the equipment that the school has provided. After viewing the
video I’m sure that most will agree that it looks different from what many of
us recall as the residence hall experience of even only a few years ago.
As you will see in the video, the Dremel
brand is proud to say that the UW uses Dremel 3D45 3D printers and the Dremel LC40
laser cutter in their makerspace. Dremel is also pleased to be part of
something which is directly contributing to the education and careers of these
students and the future workforce and economy of this nation.
