Interactive Presentation
The Knapp Media and Technology Center is a site for digital making and fabrication at Wellesley College that is host to student innovation using the latest resources in emerging technology. With a team of student interns, Knapp personnel developed methods to engage students from various academic disciplines to explore our available resources and understand how a makerspace could play a role in their work. In this session, participants will take part in our interactive programming and discuss various methods for bridging the gap between students and their institution's resources.
