Garage Physics
The Garage Physics lab in B613 Sterling Hall is a makerspace for student-driven interdisciplinary innovation. Garage offers UW-Madison students an unstructured safe environment to explore technologies and to develop creative ideas through project-oriented just-in-time learning. Want to make something or make something happen? You have come to the right place. Garage Physics offers limited support for R&D materials for scientists, innovators, and entrepreneurs. Apply at the following link: https://www.physics.wisc.edu//GaragePhysicsVenturewellSupportApplication . Garage offers 3d-printing to members. For other 3d-printing resources, see http://3dprinting.wisc.edu/.
Announcements
Fall 2018
Kickoff was held 12 September 2018. Staff this year are Julian Irwin and Logan Wille along with Brett Unks and Prof. Carlsmith of course. Hours will be posted at this wiki and on the front door. No access without staff present. Those who were previously issued keys should return their key to Aimee Lefkow. The key will not work. Logan's hours are Monday 2-4:30 and Tuesday 4:30-7. Julian's are M 4:30 - 6:30 and W 4:30 - 7.
Popup classes/workshops in CAD and 3d-printing, Arduinos, sensors etc will be announced via the garage and physics undergrad email distribution lists. Get on those!
Cheers, Prof. Carlsmith
Brett will be available in Garage M, W 3:00-4:30 pm.
Spring 2018: Noncredit pop-up classes Thursdays 5-6pm in Garage Physics start 19 Oct 2017. In individual sessions, the participant will learn computer-aided design (CAD) and 3d-printing, to program an Arduino computer from their laptop, to connect to various sensors and store data wirelessly on a server, and to write an Android app, all for science and applications. There are no prereq’s though some programming experience of some/any kind would be helpful. COntact Julian or April to attend and watch for announcements on the Garage email distribution list.
