HI Makerspace: Spring Semester 2026
The Humanities Institute Makerspace is on the move! On select afternoons this term, 198 Hagerty Hall will be open for drop-in art-making OR the HI Makerspace will travel to new locations around the Oval. Led by a rotating list of co-sponsors, the maker space will offer projects and materials in a variety of media.
Makerspace events are free, open to everyone and welcoming to all. No registration is required- drop in and make art in your own time.
