Makerspace

The Digital Creation workbench includes the circuits and a large format printer

Part of the circuits is Raspberry Pi which is a cheap, credit card sized computer that plugs in to a computer monitor or TV and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. The Raspberry Pi is a fun and simple way to explore computing and programming.

The large format printer at the AU Library is reserved for academic use for current AU students, faculty and staff. Printing is not self-service and requires staff assistance. Please plan ahead to use this service as we may not be able to accommodate last minute requests. For more information on this specific service please visit our webpage.
