During the fall semester, HMC Makerspace stewards developed and held a total of 25 different workshops for other students in addition to regular equipment training sessions. Each workshop averaged about four participants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holly Chen \u201924 held a workshop on making daisy chain rings using seed beads. She says, \u201cIt was cool being able to share the space with other students and get to know them while they were learning how to make their project.\u201d Alexia Ortiz CMC \u201925 taught the basics of crocheting in her workshop. \u201cIt was nice to see someone excited to learn something new,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additional topics covered in makerspace workshops this semester included making a tote bag, repairing a sewing machine, storytelling through zines, knitting and making leather coasters. Head makerspace steward Emma Sar SCR \u201923 vetted the workshop ideas and helped the stewards plan their events. With preparation and organization, the workshops ran smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
