Makers Club is a group of students that meets up regularly to work on their personal projects. Our goal is to connect artists, tinkerers, prototypers with the proper subject matter expertise to bring their ideas to life. Through the collaborative company of like-minded individuals (and frequent meetups) makers maintain the motivation they need to stay focused on their projects and meet their personal goals. Besides bi-weekly meetups and frequent workshops, we also regularly host special interest talks on popular topics.

Makers Club meets in the Charger Union. Make sure you use the sign-up link to get on our mailing list to receive notifications about our upcoming meetups, campus talks, and workshops. Bring your laptop to the meetups and grab some coffee while you work.

Maker Culture revolves around the principles of friendliness, openness, encouragement, and acceptance. There are no requirements for joining Makers Club. Membership is as easy as joining our mailing list. Swing by any of our meetings, bring your laptop and get started on your next project!

Makers Club revolves around students' personal projects. Bring your ideas and get help from others in the same boat. Projects range from designing board games to prototyping hardware (and everything in between)! Some favorite examples of current student projects include:
