On October 20th, The Hive opened the IDC doors and allowed students to come work and use the equipment in the makerspace. The Hive Makerspace was open for a total of 14 hours, staffed by our Peer Instructors and HackGT volunteers to help participants with their projects.

The purpose of this workshop is to give the participant a guided hands-on experience in the new IDC maker space, doing soldering and having pieces laser cut, to build a small project that incorporates electronics and art. Specifically, the participant will build a 2.5-inch-diameter cylindrical light box, which is battery-powered, rocker-switch controlled, and contains 20 small LED lights, such that the light radiates out of the enclosure through artistically designed laser-cut holes.
