Areas of Practice
Digital Fabrication & Rapid Prototyping
Makerspaces are now commonplace venues on many campuses for innovative modes of discovery. We can match you with local culture, facilities, maintenance practices, and the tools your campus needs to participate in industrial design & enable your community to shape their physical reality.
Advanced Digital Imaging
Three-dimensional image data acquisition has created new opportunities for academic inquiry. We can deepen digital literacy on your campus, broaden scholarly research, and preserve objects of cultural heritage, by strengthening your community’s 3D scanning practices and adoption of related ethical standards.
Pedagogy, Research, & Fieldwork
We have experience developing curriculum for different scales & in a wide variety of contexts. From on-campus coursework to off-campus fieldwork, we can offer insight into best-practices for integrating technology in all types of scholarly opportunities.
Administration, Policy, & Systems
Establish safe and sustainable policies, but remain nimble enough to attract new users and continue developing your facilities and programming. We can help you merge local policies with industry best-practices.
Staffing & Support
Having the right people makes all the difference. Find, mentor, and grow a talented team that serves your local community. Empower someone to take risks and fail for your institution. Develop them to have good instincts.
