+==== Spring 2026 - CCS Introduction to Making Class ====
+In Spring Quarter of 2026, we helped lead 2 classes for an experimental seminar in the College of Creative Studies, led by Tim Sherwood (CCS dean). In the first class, the students learned how to use the water jet and also got familiarized with the lab through a new user orientation in preparation for a stained glass workshop, which was led a couple of weeks later. The stained glass workshop (taught by Elaina Pace) allowed students to see cutting on the water jet and then choose from pre-cut pieces to make a design. They then practiced taping their designs (with copper tape) and soldering the pieces together!

 ==== Summer 2025 - Current | Future Makers Workshop ====
 Innovation Workshop and Los Ingenieros are partnering to host a hands-on program for local elementary and middle school students from underrepresented communities in science and technology. Participants will design their own custom trading card while learning to use tools such as the laser cutter, 3D printer, and CNC paper cutter.
+Update: We successfully hosted field trips for about 300 future-makers this school year!

 ===Spring 2025 | UV-Blocking Incubator Shroud ===
@@ Line 13: / Line 24: @@
 This project involved designing and fabricating a custom UV-blocking shroud for a moving sample incubator used at the NSF ExFAB Biofoundry at UCSB. The project was intended to reduce UV exposure to light-sensitive samples while maintaining accessibility and compatibility with the different sample rack systems.The shroud was designed in CAD and manufactured using ASA through 3D printing to provide durability and resistance to the incubator environment and UV light.

+=== Doolittle House ===
+Due to the size, we sliced it into 22 pieces. Altogether, this Doolittle model used more than 6 kg of filament and took over 350 hours to print. That's more than 15 days!
 ==== Fall 2024 - Current | Flute Project for Pedro Eustache ====

 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)

 ====Cool 3D Prints====
-We use a variety of 3D printers in our Elings 3430 lab. These include the Ultimaker and Stratasys F270 FDM printers, Form 3 SLA printers, and an Objet 30 Polyjet printer. Here are example projects:
