Texas Inventionworks (TIW) is a hands-on education program and innovation hub at UT Austin dedicated to exploration, building experience, multi-disciplinary collaboration and solving real problems. Much more than a makerspace, TIW is a community where students can create and explore what's possible together in a collaborative environment.
Texas Inventionworks also provides support for faculty through product development and curriculum. From curriculum development to equipment training/project storage and more, TIW has resources to synthesize projects with coursework.
Join the TIW community and get hands-on experience with:
- 3D fabrication, laser lab and machine shop
- A dedicated woodshop
- Training and courses
- Events and competitions
- And much more!
Our spaces and training give students the opportunity to design and build everything from biomedical devices to satellites. Whether a student wants to tinker, explore and play, or become part of a team making the epic climb to solve or invent – Texas Inventionworks welcomes you.
