Students, staff, and faculty joined together for an afternoon of mystery 鈥渕aking鈥� at the Hub, a 91裸聊视频 maker space.

Upon arrival, makers were presented with a battery, LED bulb, and mini circuit board. With no instructions other than 鈥渉ead to the soldering room first,鈥� makers followed student guides on a hands-on tour of the Hub and its capabilities. Room by room, from vacuum thermoforming to 3-D鈥損rinted product assembly, makers collected clues and built their creations鈥攖he final product a mystery until the very end.
