Innovation Shop Open House

In October 2024, the UConn College of Engineering Innovation Shop welcomed students in for an open house event. During the Open House, students built their own Halloween decoration. Staff laser cut bats, pumpkins, and ghosts to create a light-up Halloween decoration. iShop staff also gave away UConn Engineering swag, and Halloween candy. UConn Engineering students learned a bit more about new opportunities in the iShop, including a future prototyping course and a student worker training initiative.


UConn Navy STEM Education Program

In July 2024, UConn and URI students participated in the Navy STEM program, working on projects in the Innovation Shop. The Innovation Shop is a valuable resource for both the university and the community. We hope to foster increased collaboration, the pursuit of knowledge, and a sense of excitement within the UConn community in the quest for learning. We believe this resource, the Innovation Shop, will become a hub for innovative ideas and collaboration between academics both within the UConn community and other institutions of higher learning.
