 This summer, Ph.D. student Anna Alvarez in Mechanical Engineering leads a course called Bionic Creatures, where students form hypotheses about the evolutionary adaptations of organisms and build experiments to test those hypotheses.
-The Innovation Workshop and its staff have helped facilitate this course by providing extensive tools, training, and supervision for these students to safely build and conduct their experiments. (add pictures of student's experiments)

 In the Summer of 2022, the Innovation Workshop acquired a CrystalMark abrasion etcher secondhand from a dentist downtown. Over the next 1.5 year, the Workshop Wizards have made iterative modifications and additions to the tool. These include mounting the handheld tool to a Sherline CNC Z-Axis, creating a vacuum stage to hold wafers and glass slides, replacing the manual food pedal with relay controlled by g-code, and extensive feed and cut rate testing.
 This is a truly one-of-a-kind tool capable of cutting arbitrary contours in brittle substrates such as silicon and glass much faster than traditional cleanroom techniques. (add pics and/or videos of tool cutting)

 ==== November 2023 | Deep Sea Release Prototyping ====
-We were commissioned by Talia Evans, a postdoc in Professor Moran Raven's Lab, to help design an affordable and reliable release mechanism for deep-sea experiments. The prototype was made primarily from aluminum and acrylic, with a long-term goal of manufacturing all components in 316L Stainless Steel using the waterjet cutter. (add gif of release)
