YSU Open House Wednesday for 'Day of Making'
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- The Youngstown State University College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics will celebrate National Day of Making Wednesday.
An open house will be held in room 2390 Moser Hall from 1 to 3:30 p.m. as part of the Summer Honors Institute.
Visitors can observe Institute students learning engineering design and analysis techniques, rapid prototyping and 3-D printing, said Hazel Marie, associate professor and chairwoman of the mechanical and industrial engineering department.
Each of the 17 students in the class will choose an item to make. Past projects have involved boats, airplanes, cards, pendants -- even a small-scale Sponge Bob. The students then design, model, analyze, test and print out their projects.
National Day of Making, also includes the first White House Maker Faire Wednesday. The event features makers, innovators and entrepreneurs of all ages who are using cutting-edge tools to tranform their ideas into reality.
