Ever wanted to build something in the Wond'ry makerspaces, but felt intimidated by all the equipment?

In How to Make (Almost) Anything, you'll learn the modern prototyping tools, materials, and techniques.

The best way to learn how to make something is to start making 🚀

[the Wond'ry @theWondry]

Most projects fail because they solve the wrong problem 🔍

Design Discovery – the foundational course in our new Innovation and Design Strategy minor – helps you see opportunities others miss.

Open to students from all majors. Register this fall. IDS 2300: Design Discovery.
