Last week we had our annual Winter Formal, an evening full of laughter, music, food, and well dressed techs!

While the start might have been some milling 🪛 around we all eventually got to turning ⚙️ up, and by the end it was definitely not boring.🔨

Thanks to the three amazing bands who came out to play for us:anomaly.band bottlers.band

🎄🛠️ ’Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the shop,
Not a spindle was turning, not a single chip dropped.

The tools were all wrapped and tucked in with care,
Waiting for next quarter… new projects, new flair.

Happy holidays from the Student Shops 💚💛
