We open on September 15th!
Welcome!
The UAF Makerspace welcomes all UA students, staff, and faculty with an interest in Making. We are a group with diverse interests with a shared passion for the joy of creating and making a positive impact in our communities.
There are student Lab Techs in the space during all open hours who can teach you how to use a new tool, collaborate on an idea, or share a project. Check out our and come in- you can find us at Duckering 345!
How it works
No Experience? No Problem!
You do not need prior experience using any of the equipment in the UAF Makerspace to come in. A Lab Tech can teach you how to use any equipment in the space.
Work On What Matters to You!
Whether it’s for a class, a club, or just a personal passion project, you’re welcome to build it here. Have something ongoing? Ask about our project storage drawers (limited availability).
Use the Equipment—For Free!
All equipment is free to use!* Talk to a Lab Tech prior to using the equipment. A Lab Tech with guide you through equipment use and safety protocols. When using our equipment, you will have to fill out a Use Form on what you did on that piece of equipment.
*Note: If your project requires specialty materials (like carbon fiber, exotic woods, etc.), you'll need to bring those in yourself.
Innovation doesn’t happen alone. At the UAF Makerspace, students collaborate, share skills, and solve problems together, turning individual ideas into team-driven breakthroughs.
Users experiment, troubleshoot, and fine-tune their creations—transforming raw designs into functional, field-ready tools.
Prototyping is where ideas meet reality. Users explore sensors, electronics, and 3D-printed parts to refine their designs and build working solutions
From circuits to custom assemblies, students bring ideas to life with hands-on fabrication. Our Makerspace provides the tools and guidance to turn your designs into functional prototypes.
