<span style="font-size:large;">George Fox University has just constructed a new makerspace. Since this space is designed to encourage innovative and entrepreneurial thinking, the George Fox University Innovation Fellows would like to ensure that this new resource is being used to its fullest potential. Secondary to that goal, interdisciplinary projects will bring the University's community together to produce innovative products.&nbsp;</span>
