REEF Makerspace

The REEF Makerspace (Reimagining Experiential Education & Fabrication) offers an experiential approach to knowledge at the intersection of Art, Culture, and Science using a myriad of state-of-the-art equipment. REEF strives to create a welcoming community environment for everyone. 

The REEF team consists of Makerspace Director Christine Braun, Manager Joe Kile, and the Aris Demetrios Maker Fellows. Maker Fellows, comprising of graduate and undergraduate students, actively contribute to the REEF by engaging in tasks related to the Makerspace and general housekeeping, assisting and enhancing the overall experience for our community members. 

The REEF Makerspace is a unit of the Teaching and Learning group, which also oversees the Active Learning Labs, and a set of instructional shops.
