You may have noticed that our CECH Library MakerLab has had a bit of a glow up in recent months. The first phase of improvements was completed this summer, just in time for the fall 2024 term.
Initial phase improvements in our MakerLab include:
- Re-organization of the space
- New button maker (1.25”)
- Cricut Maker 3, Autopress, and Mini Press
- Improved signage
- A co-located collection of books and resources about making pedagogies
- Artist prints from iconic picture book illustrators Eric Carle and Christian Robinson
We hope you’ll join us for the first workshop in our Teachers are Makers series, Intro to Cricut on Wednesday, November 13 at 2pm. This workshop is on-site in our MakerLab so participants can practice hands-on with some of our newest tools and make a project to take home.
We are appreciative for the advocacy and support of our colleagues in the 1819 Groundfloor Makerspace, the Greater Cincinnati STEM Collaborative, and the CECH School of Education. Thanks for helping us get this “glow up” off the ground and bring new tools and ways of making to our users.
Stay tuned for additional phased improvements. Hope to see you soon in the MakerLab.
Fondly,
Katie Foran-Mulcahy (she/her)
Head, College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services (CECH) Library
