The CNSI Innovation Workshop – a makerspace facility – enables its users to build and test prototypes of their inventions. The Workshop fills a vital gap in campus resources: a place where UCSB researchers and employees from local companies can fabricate and test their ideas with the support of experienced staff. Users have the option of learning to operate various tools for independent use, or alternatively, submitting jobs for the workshop staff to fabricate. The Innovation Workshop is open to research groups, Technology Management and Capstone teams, incubator companies, and external companies, with additional opportunities for education and outreach.
