One of our key events is hosting technical workshops for other students throughout the school year. Sessions are typically hosted by T&DI graduate students who will be sharing basic concepts of the topics as well as applications that they have found useful in their research.
Below is a list of the workshops offered in the past:
3D Printing Workshop
Date: April 7th, 2021 at 6:00 pm CST.
Description: This workshop is for people who are curious and new to 3D printing technology or who are looking at gaining introductory skills. You will learn to print your own objects at home or on campus. This practical workshop will cover the most common errors beginners make and will aim to provide simple and essential introductory information.
