Lennon Rodgers\, Director of the the Grainger Engineering D esign Innovation Labs will present an overview of the MakerSpace and solic it feedback for ways to create engagements between members of IEEE and eng ineering students at UW-Madison. The talk will be followed by a brief tour of the Makerspace\, after which pizza and beverages will be served.\n\nBa ckground:\n\nThe UW Makerspace is a community of designers and builders at UW-Madison within the College of Engineering (CoE). The Makerspace facili ties include 25\,000 ft2 of shop and flex space with a wide range of rapid prototyping equipment\, made possible by a donation from the Grainger Fou ndation. Largely student run\, the Makerspace strives to empower students by creating a community immersed in emerging technologies\, focused on cre ating innovative products.\n\nThe Makerspace is a part of the CoE ecosyste m of fabrication facilities\, called the Design + Innovation Labs\, which comprises the Makerspace (rapid prototyping)\, TEAM Lab (Technical Educati on and Manufacturing Lab – precision machining\, fee for service job-sho p)\, the Design Hub (a coaching and training service) and the Kohler Innov ation Visualization Studio (virtual & augmented reality\, 3D scanning\, an d data visualization). The CoE fabrication facilities combined are over 40 \,000 ft2\, run by 9 professional full-time staff members and ~60 student workers. Each space contains millions of dollars of high-tech equipment. S tudents can build anything here – from micro to macro and from virtual t o the physical.\n\nSpeaker:\n\nLennon Rodgers is currently the Director of the Grainger Engineering Design Innovation Labs at UW- Madison. Educatino s indludes a PhD and M.S. from MIT and B.S. from the University of Illinoi s at Urbana-Champaign (all mechanical engineering). Previously he worked a t MIT as a Research Scientist and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory as an engineer. All of his research is related to engineering education and mod eling\, designing\, building\, instrumenting and testing complex systems r anging from spacecraft to electric vehicles.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Madi son Life Member Affiliate\n\nSpeaker(s): Lennon\, \n\nAgenda: \n6:00 PM -- Introduction and Talk\n\n6:20 -- Tour of the MakerSpace\n\n6:50 - 7:30 Pi zza and Beverages\n\nNote: Paid Parking should be available at Union South or Collego of Engineeriong Ramp.
