The Mobile Modular Makerspaces (M3) bring elements of traditional makerspaces to the students anywhere on campus to enable hands on learning for a class or an event. The innovative M3 carts will enable realization and experimentation by freshman during their freshman seminars and will have impact far beyond. The proposed project will utilize undergraduate and graduate students to design and build custom mobile carts with low risk and highly useful maker technologies.
