The UCSB Makerspace is an interdisciplinary experiential learning environment that fosters problem-solving, innovation, and risk-taking. We offer access to high-quality fabrication tools, in-depth instruction, and peer support on rapid prototyping and iterative design processes. Within our dynamic community workspace, learners develop leadership and collaboration skills while transforming their creative visions into reality.
The Makerspace is open to UCSB students, faculty, and staff as of January 2024. We support all creative endeavors regardless of whether they are academic, research, or personal explorations.
Available equipment includes 3D printers, laser cutter, vinyl cutter, sewing machines, and more.
