You can reach all of us at [email protected]! Our office is Campbell 123, to your left past the laser cutters as you come into the FabLab front door. We also have a Crew of undergraduate and graduate students from many different departments around UVA that are hired to help empower you with tools!
There are also other shops, labs, and makerspaces at UVA that are open to you! Please visit UVA Makergrounds and sign up for the email listserv if you want to get information about trainings in other spaces. We can also connect you to the shop managers in other spaces if you want access to tools in their spaces.
Below are the required videos to get you acquainted with the tools we’ll use during the hands-on training. Please watch these in their entirety to prepare yourself for the in-person session.
