Makerspace

Departmental Organization

Mission

Mission
The UW Tacoma Library Makerspace is a peer-to-peer learning environment where students, staff, and faculty collaborate using a variety of tools to create interdisciplinary academic and fun projects. The Library Makerspace is also an anti-racist workspace which has the goal of lowering the bar to entry for folks to use Makerspace technologies and which operates on a "no-mistakes" philosophy that encourages play and exploration. This is a hands-on Makerspace, you will need to come in and use the tools yourself to create projects. Makerspace staff will not make things for you, you must make them yourself! And don't worry if you don't know how to do something, we will either show you how or learn together to make your project come to life.

Everyone who uses the Makerspace MUST read and sign the Makerspace User Agreement. Use of the Makerspace is a privilege and not a right. Use of the Makerspace is contingent on following the code of conduct outlined in the User Agreement. In order to create an open and welcoming space for all folks, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, or other factors, the Makerspace takes a zero tolerance approach to discrimination. Users can and will be banned for racist or discriminating words or actions.

Everyone is welcome to use the Makerspace and drop-ins are welcome but it is strongly encouraged (and in some cases required) for you to book the equipment that you want to use so that we can respect everyone's time. Links to booking information are in each of the sections below.

For faculty who want to book a tour for their students or for any other questions, please contact Tim Bostelle (tbostell@uw.edu) or D'Andre Williams (willid7@uw.edu).
