CMU’s Tech Spark in The New York Times
The Tech Spark makerspace inside Carnegie Mellon University’s Hamerschlag Hall recently appeared in the New York Times. It was featured as part of Times‘ special report on learning and focused on schools that are finding new ways to embrace technology and educate the next generation. This year, CMU became the first university in the country to offer an undergraduate degree in Artificial Intelligence.
CMU is at the leading edge of preparing students to harness technology to do what cannot be done with the human hand—or mind—alone. We worked with CMU to transform the 100 year-old Hamerschlag Hall into the Tech Spark lab where innovative ideas, concepts, and products are born. Here, CMU’s research engineers use 3D printers to create artificial heart valves, and titanium powder to rapid prototype metal implants to repair skull fractures. As also reported by the New York Times, this kind of technology can have a big impact on healing.
For a deeper look at how we worked with CMU to design their Tech Spark makerspace, read the white paper GBBN’s Stephen Mrdjenovich co-authored here.
