DI Toolkit Tuesdays are interactive sessions, led by our Elliot Design Innovation Student Fellows, that introduce participants to core Design Innovation mindsets and collaboration practices. Through short, hands-on activities, participants explore topics like storytelling, teamwork, empathy, and creative problem-solving while building skills that support innovation across disciplines.
For programs involving participants who are not members of the 91²Ö¿â community, a DI Hub Liability Waiver must be completed prior to participation. If a participant is a minor, a parent or guardian must complete the minor version of the waiver on their behalf.
Additional guidance regarding university policies related to campus programs involving minors is available through 91²Ö¿â’s Policy Register.
All participants are expected to follow safety procedures while working in the Reactor makerspace. This includes:
Workshop sizes are limited to ensure safe access to tools and support from instructors.
If you need to cancel a workshop registration, you may do so through the member portal. For paid workshops, cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance are eligible for a full refund.
Participants who do not attend a workshop without prior notice are not eligible for refunds. Requests related to extenuating circumstances may be reviewed individually.
If the DI Hub cancels a session due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, participants will receive a full refund and advance notice whenever possible.
Dive deeper into design innovation through hands-on learning. These 2–3 hour sessions introduce tools, technologies, and creative processes such as 3D printing, electronics, extended reality (XR), and more—helping you build skills, explore ideas, and create your own projects from start to finish.
The DI Hub Orientation + combines the standard DI Hub Orientation with additional equipment-focused How To Sessions. This extended experience is available on request and is ideal for classes or groups that want both membership access and hands-on introductions to key makerspace tools.

Dr. Lindsay Starkey, a specialist in European history who teaches our French Revolution course, this semester had her students devise special in-class presentations that tied in with the History Department's commemoration of the United States' Semiquincentennial. They were video projects in which students could pick a theme related to the turbulent events of the 1790s in France. Students could choose from concepts like liberty, equality, fraternity, rights, and freedom - all historically inspired by America's own War of Independence just a few years before. As well as touching on the history o...
