Do you have a problem that needs a solution? Are you looking for fresh ideas, a new perspective, or feedback on a personal/academic project? Then stop by our DI Fellows Think Tank! These free and open, drop-in sessions give you the chance to bring your challenges, projects, or ideas to a team of our innovative DI Fellows. Whether you need help refining an idea, visualizing a solution, or figuring out which maker tools to use to prototype your project, the DI Fellows are here to offer guidance and support.

Beyond our standard DI HUB tours and workshops, you can also work with our staff to develop custom experiences for groups, courses, or events related to maker technologies, design innovation, design thinking, human-centered design, or collaboration. To discuss the possibilities, please contact us at di@kent.edu.

Learn how to use tools such as 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines, vinyl cutters, and more. These free, 30-minute sessions are designed for all experience levels and focus on safe, efficient equipment operation so you can feel confident working independently on Reactor projects.

The DI Hub Orientation is the first step toward becoming a DI Hub member. This one-hour session introduces Design Innovation at 91��Ƭ��, provides a guided tour of the Reactor Shops & Labs, and activates participant memberships so attendees can begin using DI Hub resources. Orientation sessions are available weekly.

KSU faculty and staff can make it easier for their students to access DI HUB equipment and materials by utilizing course fees for Reactor purchases. To set this up, work with your department’s business manager to complete our DI Hub Index Pre-Authorization form. Once approved, each student will receive a declining balance on their DI HUB account from which they can purchase machine time or materials. At the end of the semester, our staff will total the expenses and process an IDC from the designated index.

Group tours (30-45 min) introduce participants to the DI Hub’s Reactor makerspace and collaboration environments through a guided overview of available tools, spaces, and opportunities. Tours are a great way to explore what’s possible at DI and learn how students, classes, and partners engage with the DI Hub. 

Have a project idea but are not sure where to start? The DI HUB's Reactor Project Consultations connect you with our expert DI Crew staff who can guide you through the process of turning your vision into reality. Whether you need help designing, prototyping, or choosing the right tools and materials, our team is here to support your creative journey.
