In late spring 2016, the Innovation Club was launched by former fellows, Mac Preston and Zach Crawford, along several other engineering and business students interested in innovation and entrepreneurship. The club aims to help students learn hands-on skills that they may not learn in the classroom by providing a makerspace and curriculum for courses. Though still getting off its feet, the Innovation Club has already built a 3d printer and plans to host workshops, pop-up classes, and a Repair Cafe. Pop-up class plans include "How to Change the Oil in Your Car," "How to Network," and "How to Solder." The goal of these classes is to help students feel comfortable learning in new ways, as well as to learn skills not taught in tradtional settings.

This club supported the ideas of all of its members and gave students of all majors to receive hands on experience working on an array of robots. This club is a great opportunity for students to collaborate with each other outside of their courses.</span></span>
