HomeCenter for Entrepreneurship (CELEB) Maker Lab

Maker Lab


Sparked by curiosity, fueled by creativity and collaboration. 

Build a prototype or bring your vision to life in our student-run studio stocked with tools, supplies, and equipment. Open to all student entrepreneurs to work on solo or team projects.

Safety is a priority for everyone: All students are trained and safety equipment is required (safety glasses, dust masks, and hearing protection).

Maker Lab is open by appointment only. For everyone’s safety, a student supervisor must be present to assist with all projects. Fill out the form below to get started with your project.

Tell us about you and your project. One of our student supervisors will respond as soon as possible (usually within 24-48 hours).

A supervisor must be on site to assist with all projects (even if you have previously visited the Maker Lab), so be sure a time has been confirmed before coming to CELEB.
