LET’S MAKE SOMETHING!
We are a collaborative environment for the Bowdoin College community to explore the intersections between technology, art, and culture. We support curricular and non-curricular uses of our space and provide the expertise and instruction.
Our Maker Space serves as a hub for creativity and exploration, providing access to tools, technologies, and resources. We aim to inspire and support individuals from all disciplines, backgrounds, and skill levels in their pursuit of personal and academic growth.
We also like to have fun.
