South Texas College Makerspace

The Makerspace program at South Texas College aims to provide our students, faculty, and staff with a dynamic area for creative exploration and innovation. Equipped with 3D printers to transform digital designs into physical reality, virtual reality stations that offer immersive educational experiences, and professional-grade studio recording equipment for multimedia projects, our Makerspace empowers participants to collaborate and create with the latest in emerging technologies.

Discover how our Makerspace program equips you with the skills and resources to thrive in an ever-evolving technological landscape by engaging in hands-on workshops and training sessions tailored to unleash your creativity and proficiency with these advanced technologies.

To use the Makerspace equipment, participants must first have either attended one of our Makerspace Workshops
