Student Team Members

Our student team members are the heart of  WakerSpace. They helped build the space from the ground up, from assembling the tables in the Collaboration Space to adhering the soundproofing to the wall in the Podcast Room. Now, you'll find them checking WakerMakers into the space, teaching workshops, giving tours, safety training, planning events for the space, and starting their own projects!
