During Makerspace Meetups you can meet with other makers (like yourselves), or work on self-directed or class projects. MeetUps are casual gatherings to work on themed topics with no specific lesson plans. Meet up with us in the Makerspace to chat about projects, ideas, and troubleshooting for all kinds of maker topics, or just to get connected with other people interested in being creative. No experience needed and all skill levels are welcome. Learn with beginners and more expert participants in a low-stakes environment.
Have a skill or topic you'd like to learn about in the Makerspace or want to do a pop-up maker event, offer a SkillShop on a tool, skill, or topic that you are knowledgeable about? Email us at makerspace@humboldt.edu
Click the title links for full details. Unless otherwise noted, all Meetups take place in the Makerspace (Library 205). All Meetups happen weekly but do not meet during campus holidays, Fall, Winter, & Spring Break, or Finals Week.
The Library found a passel of possum joeys right before finals. They were taken to a rescue and are the inspiration for our summer design challenge theme.
