<span style="font-size:large">Many of the student priorities at George Fox University are centered around the Maker Hub. We want this space to live up to its name as a "hub" of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus, and to ensure that it is being used to its fullest potential. We also want interdisciplenary students to be able to take advantage of this resourse, so that students with different talents can pool their resources and make something truely special.</span>

<span style="font-size:large"><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent">The engineering staff envision the Maker Hub as a space for everyone in the University to use, not just engineers. Currently, all engineering students are exposed to resourses available to them in the Maker Hub through online and one on one trainings as part of their Freshman curriculum. The staff is prepared to offer these same opportunities to students outside the major, but those students lack both the knowledge that these resources exist and a reason to learn about them.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:large">Hold pop-up classes, such as how to use a 3D printer or how to develop a prototype. The Maker Hub's position next Event open to a popular all students on-campus cafe will , and have tables set up with the different tools and machines from the Maker Hub. At these tables there would be beneficially in spontaniously attracting attention sign up sheets to get access to the classesonline FoxTale course for that specific machine. This would allow the students to aquire knowledge on the tools and machines available to them, and a way to access them.</span>

<span style="font-size:large"><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent">Develop a student organization focused around making. Give students a problem to solve and a small amount of time to do it and turn them loose. Placing students under pressure will encourage experimentation and promote creativity.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:large"></span><span style="font-size:large"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap">A major gap in our I&E ecosystem is that students lack the support necessary to launch new ideas. We may be able to develop those resources to demonstrate that an idea has merit beyond the walls of the University</span></span>
