A recently formed club at UT has provided students with an outlet to bring their ideas to life via a mix of traditional and cutting-edge manufacturing methods.
The Makers Club began last semester with the goal of bringing together students and faculty interested in the makers movement, a group united by the idea of people learning and maintaining practical skills that were once common but are now in danger of being lost to machine automation—such as welding—and to developing skills in cutting-edge techniques such as 3D printing.
The Makers Club focus on turning ideas into reality is attracting students from various majors across campus.
