About the Makerspace

The UGA Libraries Makerspace is a peer-supported experiential learning lab that offers students a place to experiment with 3D printing, laser cutting, sewing and embroidery machines, vinyl cutting, and microcontrollers and mini-computers for custom computing. It is a creative hub for students, faculty, and staff, providing access to technologies, equipment, and training, as well as opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and inspirational spaces in support of invention and entrepreneurship.

The Makerspace is a friendly and supportive learning environment, and everything is offered free of charge that emphasizes active and experiential learning, where students engage in hands-on activities that foster critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, research, risk-taking, and perseverance. By iterating designs and working through challenges, students develop valuable skills that are essential for their academic and professional growth.
