In this episode of the UM3D Podcast, we look into the world of creatorspaces and the hands-on innovation happening inside them. Our guest is Benjamin Clanton, head of the Sandbox creatorspace in the McWherter Library. Ben describes how tools like 3D printers, laser cutters, sewing machines, audio/video studios, and vinyl cutters are empowering makers of all skill levels. Together, we discuss how faculty can integrate these technologies into their courses, giving students opportunities to design, experiment, and bring their ideas to life. Whether you’re faculty, a student, or just curious about the future of experiential learning, this conversation opens the door to what’s possible in a modern makerspace.
