spring 2015 outreach to middleschool students. This annual outreach initiative introduces budding scientists to engineeringthrough tours of campus labs, exposure to new technologies, and engaging workshops. The UFSWE chapter aims to introduce these crucial engineering technologies at a young age (especiallyto girls), and spark interest in these areas to help them consider engineering as a possible careerpath. The library workshops introduced students to the entire 3D design cycle from modeling toproduction, and concluded by printing a model that they designed. The librarians and SWErepresentatives co-taught a basic design program, Tinkercad, along with providing design adviceand a primer about 3D printing technology. The workshop was based upon

The lab was envisioned as a space withrelevant, current technologies, to ignite creativity in anyone who was a part of the UTAcommunity. Additionally, the opportunity to be one of the MIT-affiliated FabLabs, was seen asnot only good for enhancing students’ experience, but also as a great marketing tool for theuniversity. In short, the Libraries administration decided to build a FabLab because FabLabshave the technology and the educational focus that makerspaces do not.Although such labs are generally associated with Engineering, the Libraries’ leadership decidedthat the vision would be expanded beyond the normal STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,Mathematics
