Mobile Maker Lab

Welcome to the Mobile Maker Lab

Our Maker outreach effort has two components.  The first consists of our Mobile Maker Lab, a trailer filled with maker equipment, such as 3D printers, a laser cutter, and a variety of other tools.  The trailer is available for visits to local schools and after-school programs as a way to enhance their educational activities.  SCU staff and students operate the trailer and teach a variety of hands-on curricular modules that excite students and expose them to a variety of STEM topics.

The second element of the outreach program involves working with students to fabricate parts.  SCU students serve as mentors in order to consult on designs and manufacturability issues.  Approved design files are then uploaded to the Lab for fabrication.  Students may also watch parts being made on a 3D printer via a live web stream.

Teachers interested in learning more about these opportunities should contact us at SCUMakerLab@gmail.com or complete the Interest Form.
