Abstract

Learn how two institutions provide space for fabrication and collaboration with access to advanced tools such as 3D printers and laser cutters. Case Western Reserve University's think[box] and the North Carolina State University Libraries' Makerspace offer interdisciplinary creation spaces and services. Think[box] offers a large-scale approach with a 4,500-square-foot space that will eventually move to a 50,000-square-foot facility while the NCSU Libraries' Makerspace is a small space located within an academic library. Representatives from both institutions will share details about equipment and examples of student-created projects and discuss the role of creation spaces on campus in support of innovative learning and entrepreneurship.
