MakerSpace welcomed Girl Scout Troop #46822 on April 18th for a hands-on engineering experience in collaboration with Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania and the Gannon University Society of Women Engineers. From exploring our facilities to creating and experimenting, the visit showcased how MakerSpace empowers the next generation through innovation and real world learning.

MakerSpace hosted Troop 59 from Our Lady of Peace on April 13th, giving scouts a hands on experience with laser engraving and 3D printing while supporting creativity in the community.

Gannon University’s Engineer’s Week event, themed “Transform Your Future,” invited students to explore engineering through hands-on experiences and collaboration. Participants engraved their own designs using laser technology, toured the Makerspace facilities, and connected with peers while enjoying free food, snacks, and drinks. The event highlighted creativity, innovation, and the many ways engineering empowers students to shape the future.

MakerSpace proudly took part in Manufacturing Day 2025, where we had the opportunity to connect with over 2,000 students and local industry partners from across Erie County.

This year’s Understanding Manufacturing Technologies (UMT) Summer Camps brought students together for an immersive experience in 3D printing, laser cutting, and machining.

As an exhibitor at this year’s STEAM Fair, Gannon’s MakerSpace was honored to be part of such an impactful community event
