== Tactics#3.4 #BCmakerspaces<br/> ==
'''Description: '''<span style="font-size: larger">#BCmakerspaces will be a monthly rotational Makerspace workshop, open to students of all majors. The focus of the pop-up styled class is to teach students the design process and how to prototype, by building an object in a specific lab using whatever materials that space is designed to process. Examples include “make-a-mug”, “website 101”, “build-a-box”, etc. 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.</span>
