As part of a generous grant from New York State’s CUNY Strategic Investment Initiative, GC Digital Initiatives purchased equipment for physical computing, 3D printing, and audio production to develop a maker space at The Graduate Center.
The GC Maker Space currently lives in the Digital Scholarship Lab, Room 7414 and runs on the premise that hands-on experiments lead to critical engagement with technologies.
In Fall 2016, our inaugural semester, our programming includes:
- Monday Maker Hours
- Alternating Mondays from 2:00-4:00pm
- For students, faculty, and staff to drop in and experiment with our available technologies under the guidance of the GC Digital Fellows.
- Introduction to Physical Computing with Arduino Workshop
- November 9th, 6:30-8:30pm
- An all-levels introduction to the principles of physical computing with Arduino, no equipment required.
- “Digital Accessibility and the Making of a Meta Maker Movement,” a talk by Dr. Joshua Miele, Associate Director of Technology Research and Development at the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Low Vision and Blindness
- October 20th, 6:30-8:00pm
- Room C198
- Free and open to the public
