MakerLab
Brandeis Design and Innovation began with the MakerLab.
The Makerlab is run by Greg Buckland. The Maklerlab is organized around a social justice vision that emphasizes broad access to innovation expertise and technologies as well as the positive impact that innovation can make in the world. The MakerLab enjoys very broad involvement from the Brandeis community, including students, faculty researchers, and staff members. The Makerlab is located on the Farber mezzanine, which is where most digital fabrication workshops take place.
The MakerLab’s vibrant and effective culture of tinkering and beta-testing enable rapid and effective innovation. This approach has captured the imagination of a growing cohort of faculty members, who are enhancing their courses by integrating maker elements in consultation with expert Library staff. Every day, members of the expanding Brandeis maker community pursue technology projects that develop new forms of culture and craft in a collaborative setting.
