Empower3D Main goal is to be the perfect combination of learning and creativity, where the program will teach the individuals the tools and the methods of the Maker Movement but allow them to use them at their will and impose their creativity, as the maker movement does. UPRM has an amazing potential to grow a maker community since it has a varied offering of degrees, from STEM to arts to business administration. Empower3D will allow this diverse community to have a way to learn outside their classes and at their own pace, further enhancing what the university curriculum offers. But the most important aspect about Empower3D is that community will be founded and maintained, this community approach will create a network of individuals with the same goal but different point of views and skills.
<span style="font-size: mediumEmpower3D is a vital addition to the UPRM ecosystem because of how the current curriculum for bachelors limits students from learning about some topics because of their choice of studies, Empower3D is here to establish interdisciplinary collaborations as well as teach about technology and techniques not found anywhere else but vital to project/idea development, enabling students to develop themselves and their ideas outside the curriculum timeline.
