This course provides a beginner-friendly, hands-on introduction to the materials, tools, and equipment available at Hello Maker Studio, the new CNS makerspace. Topics include prototyping with simple materials, digital fabrication, and physical computing with programmable electronics. Participants will complete the studio’s standard 3D printing and laser cutting training, which will allow them to access studio equipment after the course. We will also have dedicated collaboration time to consider ways in which the makerspace could support participants’ research and other areas of interest.
Prerequisites:
There are no prerequisites for taking this course.
If you use the UT ProCard for payment of courses, please be aware that you can only charge ONCE per 24 hour period. Any attempts to charge more courses will fail, and you will not be registered.
For example, you may add one to many courses for one student into your shopping cart at any one time, and charge them to the ProCard, and you should receive a "registration successful!" page at the end. This is because you registered ONCE for ONE student. If you attempt to register and pay again, for example, for a different student, this will trigger the UT ProCard security system to stop payment, and your registration will not be successful. A page stating this fact will occur after you attempt to process payment. It looks a lot like the "registration was successful" page.
Ways to avoid this are: use the ProCard after 24 hours have passed, or the student may use their credit card and be reimbursed later through the usual UT accounting methods, or process the registration with an IDT, otherwise known as an Interdepartmental Transfer (talk to someone in your department that handles the accounts).
