Danielle Newman at the Invention Studio

The Invention Studio is a student-run organization full of problem solvers and hands-on thinkers. It is 3,000 square feet within the Flowers Invention Studio and has amassed millions of dollars in machines through industry sponsors and donations. The studio is used by about 500+ students per week, but with Covid-19, the space is functioning on a capacity basis with every time slot available meeting the capacity mark. Overall, it offers many opportunities for student visitors, users, and for its student leaders, peer instructors and executive members, to come together and share their passion for creation. Danielle Newman, the Shop Manager for the Invention Studio, explains the role the Invention Studio has played in her life, specifically its effect on her sense of community within Georgia Tech.
