The George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering's Spring 2025 TechMade Symposium: Elevating Georgia Tech's Maker Culture brought together students, faculty, and staff to explore research and activities conducted in makerspaces on campus and discuss strategies for elevating the maker culture across Georgia Tech.

TechMade is an initiative across the colleges of engineering, business, and design. Supported by the college's deans, it gives students hands-on exposure to product realization, from design to manufacturing, regardless of their major. The goal is to unify the widespread design and creation opportunities on campus while building a collaborative design community for students and researchers across the Institute.

The event featured lightning presentations from several speakers, including Amit Jariwala, Director of Design and Innovation in the Woodruff School; Julie Linsey, professor in the Woodruff School; Mohsen Moghaddam, Gary C. Butler Family Associate Professor in the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering and the Woodruff School; Noah Posner, research scientist in the School of Industrial Design; Abigale Stangl, assistant professor in the School of Industrial Design, and Tim Trent, research technologist II in the Institute for People and Technology (IPaT).

Noah Posner and Tim Trent are faculty members in IPaT.
