MORE THAN A SPACE

We’re a COMMUNITY.

Building an open, strong, and welcoming community is core to The Hive’s mission. Our 140+ Peer Instructor volunteers are not only passionate about teaching the art of making but are highly motivated to help our visitors to work through their projects.

A key component to our strong community is diversity. While the The Hive focuses on aspects of Electrical Engineering, our community is not limited to just Electrical Engineers. Our volunteers come from all majors at Georgia Tech including Industrial Design, Aerospace Engineering, and Management. Similarly, our community is made up of students from different classes, from freshmen undergraduate students to PhD students.

Outside of the Hive, our volunteers love hanging out with one another. Whether we’re on Tech Green playing Spikeball, inside playing Super Smash Bros, or on a group hike, we always find ways to come together. We’re more than building and making ideas, we’re also building a community.

So come visit us and experience the our makerspace community for yourself!

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Our goal is to make engineering more accessible for everyone. To that end, we are constantly involving ourselves in the campus community and investing our resources and time so that anyone can become the makers they want to be. Read more below to see how we are working towards that future.

STUDENT LED WORKSHOPS

The IDC is a student-led makerspace, and our workshops are no exception. We aim to host weekly workshops where members of the community can learn new skills, such as preparing a file for laser engraving, or how to use a piece of equipment, such as our soldering irons. Each workshop is developed and taught by that our very own Peer Instructors. This provides a fun, comfortable environment where attendees can take away a new skill and an object made using that knowledge.

CROSS-CAMPUS COLLABORATIONS

As a member of the Georgia Tech community the Hive has collaborated in different ways with other student organizations on campus. Whether it’s hosting an event or providing prototyping resources and help for hackathons, we’re always open to new collaborations that align with our goals.

CORPORATE PARTNERS

Thanks to a strong relationship with our corporate partners, we can make physical resources and expert knowledge more accessible at the IDC. In addition to that, our corporate partners also give us an opportunity to share critical professional or technical skills with students through sponsored workshops.
