Iowa State University Student Innovation Center

The Resource Fair is ON! ❤️ 💛 Swing by the Student Innovation Center to explore resources available to students and grab some free goodies while you're at it.
Be sure to stop in the Metal and Wood Shop Makerspace on the first floor, too! Check out the space, ask questions, and see what's possible.

The best solution to any problem isn't always the obvious one.
Madelyn Hackbarth proved that when she reimagined her wedding cake entirely, swapping frosting for plaster and creating a 6-foot centerpiece for her big day.
Hear how she pulled it off! https://loom.ly/w6W8xvs

Another year of innovation, collaboration, and incredible student work in the books!
The Student Innovation Center is more than a building. It’s a place where students explore, experiment, and grow together. Watching students from across campus turn ideas into prototypes, projects into passions, and challenges into opportunities to create something new is what makes this space special.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this year unforgettable. Congratulations to all graduates!
