The TAD major courses include Design Production in Woods; Materials-Testing-Processing Processing; Design and Documentation; Electricity and Electronics; Graphic Communication and Arts; Power and Energy Technology. In addition 3 other Makerspaces to the teaching Professor, TAs are present during class and hold after-school Lab Hours to assist students with using the equipment, working on projects, and answering general questions. Unfortunately, most of these wonderful resources are unbeknownst to many students outside of the major. observe operations & training procedures (February & March 2018)</span><br/li><li><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre; white-space:pre-wraplarger">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Conduct extensive customer discovery to determine what needs #BCmakerspaces can satisfy (March 2018)</span></li><li><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre; white-space:pre-wraplarger">During our “customer discovery” phase of conducting a SWOT analysis, it became apparent students outside of Coordinate with the TAD & Computer Science majors are largely unaware of these facilities- and much less confident in using them! After discussing Innovation and Entrepreneurship with a diverse range of students majoring in Business, Agriculture, and Art- we discovered that students desire a creative space on campus where they can gather and prototype ideas while learning useful skills. As a top-ranked Liberal Arts college, many Berea students are studying subjects that may not expose them department to host the technical aspects of problem solving and identification. When told these creative spaces already exist on the Berea campus, there was immediate interest and excitement over the chance to “make things”- especially using the 3D printer, Woods equipment, and the pottery studio. first makerspace event (April 2018)</span><br/li><li><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre; white-space:pre-wraplarger">Gather Feedback about the #BCmakerspaces event, strategize and plan accordingly.

The focus of the pop-up styled workshop would be to build an object in a specific lab using whatever materials the space is designed to process. The Danforth Technology building currently boasts a variety of makerspaces, including a: Digital Crafts Lab, MAC & 3D Printing Lab, Woods Lab, Metals Lab, Ceramics Lab, Appalachian Crafts Lab, and the Graphics Lab- which features a dark room and a soundproof recording studio. Highlighting the existent Makers Spaces on campus will promote cross-departmental communication, and perhaps expand student interest into new fields previously unconsidered. Providing students Coordinate with opportunities participating departments to be creative and experiment with new materials is conducive for innovative thinking and problem solving, and also quite therapeutic in form a multitude schedule of ways. #BCmakerspaces classes (Summer 2018)</span><br/li><li><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre; white-space:pre-wraplarger">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Develop a Marketing Plan for #BCmakerspaces (Summer 2018)</span></li><li><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre; white-space:pre-wraplarger">Currently, a meeting between the TAD Dept, Computer Science Dept, Launch #BCmakerspaces and UIF is being planned for late February continue to discuss and pursue the possibility of the rotational makerspace. Ideally, the workshop would be 2-4 hours on a weekend, with a professor teaching students how to use the equipment followed by an introduction to the material & capabilities. Students would then be tasked with creating a useful item such as sculpting a coffee mug, turning a wooden pen on a lathe, building a personal website, etc. while the professors and TAs assisted and supervised. Hosting a rotational makerspace will expose students to previously unexplored facilities, which could benefit the TAD & C.S. program enrollment. Participating in a pop-up makerspace would teach students much more than just technical skills, but also the core values of design thinking and how to prototype ideas into something tangible. Forming a strong partnership between the EPGgather data (Fall 2018)</UIF program and the TAD & CS departments is integral in promoting the creative spirit and entrepreneurial mindset at Berea College.span></spanli><br/ul> ==
