GTRI Machine Shop: The machine shop is located in an understated industrial building at 676 Marietta St. The Machine Services is an active machine shop that can design, fabricate, repair, and modify parts or entire devices for research projects. It works on designs ranging from miniature gears used in heart medicine research to large-scale structural welding projects as tall as 35 feet.
Idea to Prototype (I2P) program, part of the CREATE-X initiative, offers undergraduate research course credit for you and your teammates to advance your ideas for a potential value creating product by performing basic research, analysis, building, and testing--leading to a proof of concept prototype. Think of it like undergraduate research--a deep dive on a problem for 1-2 semesters with a mentor. Grants ($) for materials and supplies are available. Faculty mentors are available if you don't have one. Open to all majors and years, interdisciplinary teams encouraged to apply.
Steps:
- 1. Get your idea, team, and faculty mentor together
- 2. Apply at i2p.gatech.edu
Invention Studio: The Invention Studio is a space devoted to the hands-on projects of all Georgia Tech students. Spanning five rooms on the second floor of the MRDC, this studio is led by undergraduate lab instructors willing to help students turn their ideas into prototypes.
RNOC: The Georgia Tech Research Network Operations Center (GT-RNOC) enables innovation in networking systems, computing, sensing, mobile interfaces and linking communities through collaboration. Students can utilize RNOC facilities to test out various software including IOT (internet of things) with the help of cross-disciplinary world class students, researchers, and innovators. Located in TSRB 122/123.
The Hive: The Hive is an electronics-focused makerspace open to all Georgia Tech students, offering resources for hardware and prototyping projects. The lab features 3D printers, soldering stations, PCB tools, and workbenches, making it a hub for hands-on exploration in electronics and design.
Interactive Product Design Lab (IPDL): The Interactive Product Design Lab (IPDL) is a creative space where students explore the intersection of design, engineering, and user experience. Equipped with tools for prototyping and testing interactive products, the lab supports hands-on learning and innovation across disciplines.
AI Makerspace: The AI Makerspace is a hub devoted to hands-on projects in artificial intelligence, created in collaboration with NVIDIA. This space gives students access to high-performance computing resources typically reserved for researchers or industry, helping them build practical skills and prepare as future AI leaders.
The Yang Aero Maker Space: The Yang Aero Maker Space is a workshop created by the Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering for students to work on class projects and competition teams. The space includes prototyping, woodworking, metal, and composite shops, giving aerospace engineering majors the tools to bring their ideas to life.
BME Design Shop: The BME Design Shop is a makerspace dedicated to biomedical engineering students, providing tools and resources to support their innovations. Guided by design instructors, the shop offers lessons, feedback, and hands-on experience to help students bring their ideas to life.
The MILL: The Materials Innovation and Learning Laboratory (MILL) is an open-access makerspace sponsored by the School of Materials Science and Engineering. Complementing the Invention Studio, it provides students with tools to test, measure, and create materials, including multi-material 3D printers, a benchtop electron microscope, and mechanical testing equipment.
