Stay updated at Campus Ready.
The Cal Poly Humboldt Library Makerspace is a place where you can create and learn about digital and physical projects with other makers and resources to support you. We're located on the second floor of the Library (room 205) across from the whiteboard study spaces. Drop by to get help with a project, hang out with other makers, use our equipment, and so much more!
The open hours for this semester will be Monday - Friday, 12pm - 5pm.
Email us at Makerspace@humboldt.edu if you have any questions while we are closed.
Stations outside the Makerspace (Room 205) and the Makerspace Studio (1st floor, room 120) are available during Library open hours.
The library isn't exactly open 24 hours a day, but some of the Makerspace is available whenever the library is open. Outside the Makerspace you’ll also find the Anatomage digital dissection table, Augmented Reality (AR) Sandbox, flight simulator, Virtual Reality (VR) Station, and creativity stations.
Our Makerspace online tutorials are often updated, so keep an eye out for what's coming next. You may also find our Online SkillShops helpful- learn at your own pace with the Canvas tutorials (restricted to Cal Poly Humboldt students, staff and faculty).
The Makerspace Take n' Make equipment is available to students, faculty, and staff in any discipline or at any level of experience. We have all sorts of gear: cameras, microphones, digital recorders, 360-degree cameras, VR headsets, tripods, iPads, laptops, and so much more! Everything is available to borrow for 3 days (or more in some cases) at no cost to you! Ask at the Checkout Desk in the library lobby.
