WYRKSHOP

Welcome to the WYRKSHOP!

We're proud to be the largest makerspace at the University of Wyoming, and one of the largest and best-equipped makerspaces in the Mountain West! From UW students, staff, and faculty to community members from Wyoming and the Front Range, we're free, open, and accessible to anyone.

Our Wyrkshops across Wyoming are places for you to collaborate, create, innovate, build, invent, tinker, share, make, and learn without limits. We’ll provide you with the technology, tools, and training to get started. Where you go, what you learn, and what you create is up to you.

Learn

Learning is the name of the game at the Innovation Wyrkshop. Want to create something incredible? No machine is off limits, so we'll give you the tools to make it happen.

We believe that an interest in and passion for STEM form a foundation for lifelong learning and curiosity. Our signature brand of maker education celebrates the “how come?” and the “what if?’’ and the "why not?" through exciting and motivating free workshops.
