Makerspace - Doheny Maker Lounge

Welcome to the
Doheny
Maker 
Lounge 
Guide!

Join the Mount Maker Movement
and help us become a community of
makers, creators, innovators, and friends!

 

What is the Maker Lounge, anyway?

The Doheny Maker Lounge is a self-guided makerspace! Generally, a makerspace is a room or area dedicated to hands-on discovery. This space is stocked with the tools, supplies, and other resources needed to facilitate your creative projects. You may arrive with an idea (or even a half-baked idea!) and leave with a finished product. The goal of the makerspace is to further your experiential or kinesthetic learning skills and encourage your appetite for innovation and creativity!

NOTE: The Doheny Maker Lounge remains a study room as well, and can be reserved by groups who wish to study in the room.

About

The Doheny Maker Lounge is a space where everyone is welcome, and which inspires creativity and collaboration. Some activities will make you think critically; others will turn your thoughts into action. We support a maker culture where:

  • Everyone shares responsibility for safety.
  • We help one another and are receptive to feedback.
  • We support one another.
  • Innovation is encouraged.
  • Positive experiences are created.
  • Everyone follows the Athenian promise.

This space has been created with the support of the W.M. Keck Foundation and alumnae donors!

The Doheny Maker Lounge is available for use by current MSMU students, faculty, and staff in their coursework and other MSMU related work.
