Serving over 1,200 community members annually, we are dedicated to creating a space where everyone feels comfortable working on a variety of projects, from electronics to sewing or artistic endeavors. The Makerspace helps Harvey Mudd further its work toward fostering inclusive excellence on campus while also creating new educational and community engagement opportunities for the students and faculty of all 7Cs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located on the first floor of the Scott A. McGregor Computer Science Center at the corner of Platt and Dartmouth, the Makerspace is also connected to the Libra Complex just south of the Machine Shop.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><ul class=\"button-list\" data-buttons=\"3\"><li><a class=\"mudd-more-button button-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/makerspace\/stewards\/\"><span>Stewards<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"mudd-more-button button-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/makerspace\/explore\/\"><span>Explore<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"mudd-more-button button-3\" href=\"https:\/\/make.hmc.edu\/\"><span>User Resources<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mudd2021-info-box info-box\" data-box-style=\"2\"><div class=\"info-box-heading-copy-wrapper\"><div class=\"info-box-heading-wrapper\"><h2 class=\"heading h2\">Hours<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"info-box-copy-wrapper\">\n<p>The Makerspace is accessible to 7C students, faculty and staff 24\/7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stewards are available from Sunday-Thursday 12\u201311 p.m. and Friday-Saturday 12\u20138 p.m. They can help with checking out tools or equipment and providing assistance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading section-heading\">Get Inspired<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mudd-showcase style-1\"><div class=\"wp-block-mudd-showcase-heading-wrapper\"><h3 class=\"wp-block-mudd-showcase-heading h2\">Project Showcase<\/h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/makerspace\/showcase\/\" class=\"mudd-more-button\"><span>More Projects<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-mudd-showcase-content-wrapper\" data-card-count=\"3\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-mudd-showcase-card\"><h4><span class=\"wp-block-mudd-showcase-card-heading-img\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/makerspace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/63\/2024\/10\/yarn2.jpg);\"><\/span><span class=\"wp-block-mudd-showcase-card-heading-text\">Electric Yarn Spinners<\/span><\/h4><p class=\"wp-block-mudd-showcase-card-copy\">Sydney and friends made their own e-spinners to turn wool into yarn!
