This amazing creative and technology experience center is part 3D printing lab,

people of all ages and experience levels can come together around a simple, yet
powerful idea: “I want to make something great.” We’ll provide a quick but
informative tour of our supremely inquire space, including 3D printers, soldering
stations, the Guinness World Record holding Largest Claw Game and much more.
A talk on the Maker Movement and what that means for OSU Extension and how
Proto and makerspaces fits into that equation. Following that, we’ll walk
everyone through a soldering project that will be yours to take home. You’ll also
get a 3D printed OSU keychain and the opportunity to create something yourself
and make something awesome.  No experience necessary.
