The Learning Community Innovation Zone(LCIZ) is the first official Makerspace at UConn. By providing necessary guidance, equipment and materials, the LCIZ creates a space for UConn students to bring their ideas from conception to reality. Followed by completing appropriate safety training, students have access to prototyping equipment such as 3D printers, vinyl cutter, CNC router, laser cutter, table and band saws, and other hands tools and electronics within the environment. The LCIZ hosts various workshops to introduce students to new and innovative topics. The LCIZ aims to inspire creative and innovative thinking within a hands-on learning environment that advocates innovative design, prototyping, collaboration, entrepreneurship and problem solving.
