Bucks for a Boost
Makerspace Fundraiser — May 7
The CREATE Makerspace Project Group turned their semester of technical training into community impact. On May 7, the team hosted a tiered fundraiser to support UTEP student organizations, featuring products designed and manufactured entirely in-house.
Throughout the semester, team members learned the nuances of design software, laser engraving, and hands-on prototyping — from ideation all the way to creation.
