UCLA Makerspace, located in Rieber Hall, recently hosted the long-term Make Your Own Board Game workshop. The three-part program taught participants to use specific industrial machines, such as laser cutters and 3D printers. The program’s director, Allison Shindell, a first-year computer science and linguistics student, said she hopes the space will cater to the general student body and help them feel comfortable using the machinery.
