Description
Informatics (CCI) at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte). It provides
open, shared facilities for creative exploration and “making’ of things using digital fabrication and
related tools / equipment. It has an inclusive vision - there is a computing focus, but the facility is
open for all active members of the university community. It regularly brings together diverse
groups from across disciplines to connect and learn from one another. The CCI Makerspace is a
specialized space with a focus on prototyping for physical computing, and it actively helps to
support projects beyond CCI as part of the broader university community. It also proactively
collaborates with other differently-focused fabrication spaces on campus. The CCI Makerspace
serves both as a multi-disciplinary community / collaboration space and as infrastructure for
creativity in physical prototyping and tangible interaction. It provides facilities and training that
support creative projects across research, coursework, extracurriculars, recruiting / outreach,
community / business partnership, and personal / workforce development.
