| The Garage Physics lab in B613 (no longer B651!) Sterling Hall is an active space for self-study, mentoring, and interdisciplinary innovation intended to support the maker/synthetic biology/garage-physicist/entrepreneur generation of students joining our campus, in particular those joining the physics department and our undergraduate University Physical Society. It offers UW-Madison undergraduates and graduate students a place to explore existing educational experiments and demonstrations in more depth, to learn safe procedures, hands-on skills, and laboratory techniques, to explore their own creative ideas through project-oriented just-in-time learning, and to conduct research of their own, all in an unstructured safe environment. Want to be a 'maker' and join the 'maker/innovator/entrepreneur' movement? You have come to the right place. Invention is the mother of necessity. | 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.

| * [[About Garage Physics]] - General information | 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 Hi all! Here are the regular open hours for Garage this semester: M: 2 - 6 (2 - 4:30 Logan, 4:30 - 6 Julian) T: 4:30 - 7 (Logan) W: 3 - 7 (3 - 4:30 Brett, 4:30 - 7 Julian) Th: 3 - 5 (Brett) Stop by and make something! Brett 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. == In the news... == 20 April 2018: The Badgerloop team has revealed POD III. 0-300mph, and (significantly) back to 0, in 3/4 mile. About 30 core members will take POD III to the 3rd Hyperloop competition at SPACEX, scheduled for 22 July 2018. See campus news https://news.wisc.edu/newest-badgerloop-pod-unveiled/ .
