SPEC Kit 348: Rapid Fabrication/Makerspace Services · 49
We held an event on the uses of 3-D printing in research, campus-wide, and it garnered a good deal of interest and
exposure. We also host our Master of Arts in Educational Technology practicum workshops.
We hosted a 3-D Printing Expo day for 2 hours in the Research Commons at one of our libraries. Tables included
MakerBot and the 3-D printing student club on campus. Many people stopped by, and we were able to capture interest
through a survey.
We plan to institute project nights or show &tell opportunities. There are multiple student-run maker communities on
campus, thus we are exploring if there is still a need for us to fill that need.
We took our 3-D printer and scanner out to four academic departments for show and tell sessions. The head of the New
Media Center also gave demos to the Student Library Advisory Council and the Library Board.
