USC Makers Fall 2020 Showcase
Mon, Nov 16, 2020 @ 08:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Student Activity
We are Makers at USC (http://viterbimakers.usc.edu/) - an electronics hobbyist club started in Fall 2016 by three engineering students as an effort to promote more innovation and interest in electronics on campus. Our mission is to facilitate the exploration of concepts in electronics design and stimulate interest in fields of electronics such as the Internet of Things, Embedded Systems, and Robotics. Our organization hopes to serve as a resource for the USC community by offering assistance with electronics-related projects and hosting workshops that are open to the general public.
Our members (mainly EE/CS/MechE majors) work in teams to create projects, and this month, we're excited to show off the progress we have made on our creations! This semester has been very unconventional, to say the least, but we are proud to announce that we were still able to create physical hardware projects virtually. Please join us for our fall showcase to see what we have made thus far and celebrate the end of the semester!
When: November 16th, 8 pm to 10 pm PST

SCAD 3D Printable Objects Workshop - Tuesday 11/24 10 AM
Wrap up your fall semester with the most exciting SCAD workshop! If you have any interest in 3D printing this workshop is for you!

We'll use two software programs: OpenSCAD (or the browser-based equivalent, OpenJSCAD) and ShapeJS (also browser-based). You'll have tons of fun in this workshop as you create simple shapes, use different viewers to look at your creations, and learn to upload them to Shapeways, an online 3D marketplace. No prior experience is necessary. Hope to see you there!
