A makerspace is a place where users of all skill levels can come together to bring their ideas to life by “making” things. Students, faculty and staff at Appalachian State University will be able to use the space to access tools, learn new skills, and create things both for academic and personal use. A variety of workshops will be provided for those who want to learn more about our maker options.
For more information, email Hannah Pope at popehl@appstate.edu or Kai Weaver at weaverkb@appstate.edu.

Available in the Belk Library Makerspace. If you would like to 3D print, fill out the online google form with the file that you would like to print. 3D Printing is free and unlimited for academic/class uses. 3D Printing is also free for personal prints, but is limited to 2 prints per semester. The Makerspace has five Ultimaker s3s, one Ultimaker s5, a Prusa XL, a Bambu X1E, and a FormLabs 3 resin printer.
The Tech Desk checks out Arduino and Raspberry Pi kits for new and old users alike. Intel Edison and Grove Internet of Things kit coming soon. Try them out and see what you can create!
Making includes sewing, too! Come in and use our sewing machine to create garments, patch holes or anything else you need.
