The Shack is a makerspace providing access to cutting-edge design and manufacturing technologies. Students can use or borrow equipment such as 3D printers, Arduino and Raspberry Pi circuit boards, laser cutters and milling tools.

The Elko Engineering Garage is a hands-on workspace for physical prototyping. Trainers are on hand daily to help students safely explore new fabrication possibilities. Students can use tools for plastic fabrication, metalworking, woodworking, sewing, laser cutting, 3D printing, circuit board prototyping and more.
