Maker Hub
Maker Hub Update:
The Maker Hub is open once again! After 18 long months, we are incredibly excited to be holding open hours for the general Georgetown population. We have a telented group of student volunteers and staff ready to help you bring your personal and academic projects into reality. Our open hours are held from 4pm - 8pm on Monday - Thursday and from 12pm - 5pm on Friday - Saturday. The Maker Hub is closed on Sundays.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
The Maker Hub is Georgetown's only makerspace open to all students, staff and faculty. We promote innovation and hands-on learning through workshops, curricular engagement, and one-on-one project mentorship.
Most of our tools are free to use, and our community of staff and volunteers are available during open hours to teach you how to use the equipment and turn your ideas into reality.
Drop in to see what we have to offer. It's your Maker Hub!
