Summer Science Program 2024<\/p><\/div>\n

This June, the Williams College Makerspace and the Hopper Science Center’s Machine Shop teamed up to deliver hands-on training for the Summer Science Program<\/a> (SSP), an intensive experience that welcomes an incoming cohort of about 20 students each year into STEM fields. When Senior Science Center Shop Engineer Jason Mativi found himself short-staffed for the week of June 17\u201321, Makerspace Manager David Keiser-Clark stepped in to co-teach the course, guiding students through the Bridgeport Mill and metal lathe across five full days of instruction. The partnership came together quickly and warmly: Science Center Director Amy Gehring reached out to Academic Technology Services, and with enthusiastic support from Director Tattiya Maruco and Barron Koralesky, the cross-unit collaboration was approved within hours \u2014 a nice reminder of how easily good partnerships can form here at Williams.<\/span><\/p>\n

The collaboration turned out to be exactly the kind of teamwork SSP is built on. Jason later shared that he simply couldn’t have run the course without David’s help, praising him as a quick study who picked up the shop’s equipment with ease and helped every student move through the material safely and efficiently. The result was a smoother, more successful week for students and instructors alike \u2014 and the beginning of what both hope will be an ongoing partnership between the Makerspace and the Science Shop, with plans to keep building shared skills and expanding what students can learn from both spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n
