About the Makerspaces
The Makerspaces at William & Mary are the premiere location to provide hands-on experiential learning at William & Mary. In the new world-class ISC4 Makerspace complex we serve the entire William & Mary community. In this new facility we are home to myriad advanced manufacturing techniques from laser cutting to additive manufacturing, as well as metals and woodshops, electronics workstations, walk-in finishing & spray booth, and much more. The Makerspaces at William & Mary are home to applications ranging from sewing & crafting to advanced robotics, UAVs & USVs, and AI embedded autonomous systems. Whether it’s made by carving wood, or by 3D printing Inconel (metal) rocket nozzles; The Makerspaces provide a home to advancing the Tribes’ physically rendered endeavors in the real world.
Our Mission
The primary mission of the Makerspaces at William & Mary is to promote interdisciplinary collaboration alongside tools and resources of the modern age in an effort to amplify the community’s productive, innovative and entrepreneurial efforts & spirit.
Values
The Makerspaces value a community within which people having diverse interests come together to collaborate and work towards productive goals. The Makerspaces can be viewed as community prototyping, fabrication and engineering centers incorporating elements of machine shops, research labs, workshops and art studios where makers can come together to share resources and knowledge to build and prototype their ideas. The Makerspaces are where people with vastly different experiences collide on common interests, resulting in an output of innovative thinking, doing, and making.
