ATTENTION !!!
The Makerspace is currently out of Light Transfer Paper. If you are coming in to use this resource we are advising that you pick up your own transfer paper. The local Wal-mart should have a supply and you could also try Michael's and Hobby Lobby In Hamilton. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
The Makerspace is also out of lamination sheets, We hope to have them back in the space soon.
About the Makerspace
Welcome to the Makerspace, a hands-on, highly collaborative, and experiential learning space located on the third floor of King Library. The Makerspace features a variety of maker equipment such as 3D printers, laser cutter/engravers, a direct-to-garment printer, sewing/embroidery machines, digital cutters, and more.
Why the Library?
The Miami University Libraries vision statement is: “We ignite the spark of learning in every student, creating a lifetime of curiosity and accomplishment.” Maker-centered learning is increasingly being adopted in higher education as an engaging, multidisciplinary, and experiential way of learning. One of the great benefits of makerspaces, especially in the neutral space of the campus library, is the opportunity for transdisciplinary collaboration. Students of all majors and backgrounds can ignite the spark of learning through making and learning activities in ways that they may not get to in their normal courses.
