Presented at NEFLIN on February 9th, we had a fun hands-on day working with a variety of Makerspace resources from Novare and the NEFLIN Equipment Loan Service. From sewing machines to robotics to beginning electronics to 3d printing, this workshop gave participants a chance to get hands-on with various devices.
