The Generator Makerspace is a combination of artist studios, classroom, and business incubator at the intersection of art, science, and technology providing tools, expertise, education, and opportunity to create, collaborate, and make ideas into reality.
A great perk of our Career Interest Groups:

- have completed at least 1-year at UVM - 1st year students may apply for the following year,

Accepted applicants will need to

Generator is a makerspace for up-skilling - beginners welcome! While you don't need expertise to get started, having a project in mind is helpful - taking advantage of the membership will require vision, time, and energy.
