Laurier Science Maker Lab

Leesa designed a cool Jewelry box but wanted a hidden hinge for the top. Doing this without the cover jamming while it swings is more complex than you'd think, but she did it!

Comp Sci student Lorand recording his original song Over and Again. What will you make?

Low speed centrifuge with 4 programmable speeds. What will you make!

The Laser and workshop are back up and running. Come in and see the smiling faces!

Renovations nearing their end here in the Science Maker Lab. It won't be long until we have the entire workshop back in service.

Renovations to return the workshop to service are coming along nicely in the Science Maker Lab.

Podcasters hard at work in the Science Maker Lab Studio solving the challenges for the 2025-26 Maple Leaf's season - faces digitally altered to protect the innocent!

Attention NON-CODERS!!! Coming this fall, workshops for coding for non-coders. Come learn the very basics behind robotics!

Dave designed a part to replace a part that was keeping a pressure washer from working. You can't buy the part, so the alternative is to scrap a pressure washer where everything else works fine!

A re-print of a cool design from back in 2017.

Coding Challenge! Make a digital Dudley Lock (2 right, then select #, 1 left then select #, then right to final number) using an Arduino microprocessor, an LCD display, a push button and a rotary encoder. Can you code this?

Dave came in and assembled his 2 stage planetary reduction gearbox. This was one of his first projects after his Tombstone SOLIDWORKS lesson. Impressive!

A custom designed handle for Jana.

Dave designed and 3D printed a 2 stage planetary gear reduction mechanism. It's ready for assembly!

Julia completed her tombstone CAD basics project and decided to put it to good use.

Julia's watershed teaching tool making the rounds... Developed in the SML, being displayed in Calgary!

3D printers working overtime these days! Parts for an educational toy, horns and a helmet for holding brain wave sensors.

Dave did the intro SOLIDWORKS lesson and then decided to continue on to something a little more challenging.

Julia used her Science Maker Lab skills to design a new interior and exterior for her house!

3 D printed water cycle teaching apparatus out in the world. Designed and built by former SML Assistant Julia Zazzarini.
