Have an idea or project that you want to bring to fruition? You can take that idea and work towards making it a reality in the Science Maker Lab.
The lab is located on the Waterloo campus and is a space where students can make or test prototypes, learn how to design new ideas for research purposes, and expand their skills and imagination.
Learn more about the lab and see some of the projects that were created in the lab.
