New Digital Maker Studio provides on-campus opportunities to create and explore cutting-edge tech tools

Committed to the success of students, faculty and staff alike, the ASU Tech Hub — formally Tech Studio — is a reliable resource on every campus. Staffed by students known as Tech Devils, Creative Consultants and Ambassadors, the Tech Hub offers unparalleled support to every Sun Devil that walks through its doors. 

Now, the new Digital Maker Studio is partnering with the Tech Hub for an exciting relaunch ahead of the new semester. From community and creative skills-building to in-person tech support consultations, both studios offer engaging services that will set Sun Devils up for success in the upcoming semester. 

Reimagined learning experiences for all

As part of ASU's mission to promote inclusion and equity for all, Sun Devils will continue to receive all the great Tech Studio services they have come to expect – such as software and hardware diagnostics, network access and cybersecurity guidance – free of charge. Additional content creation and knowledge management services are also being integrated into the Tech Hub’s many offerings. 

While there are Tech Hubs on every campus, a few new innovative services are being unveiled in Tempe!

New features available this fall 

The Digital Maker Studio at the Creativity Commons combines innovative teaching and learning approaches via emerging technology, creating an environment where students feel supported as they investigate, explore and create. Engaging activities include the opportunity for faculty to bring their classes to the space for a guided creative field trip and workshops geared toward newcomers to the creative technology scene. 

Additionally, Fork ‘Em Gaming brings an exciting new aspect to the Digital Maker Studio, offering exciting gaming experiences through VR and traditional video gaming consoles. Step into a new world with friends and classmates to embark on new adventures, explore unfamiliar realms and compete in lively multiplayer games. 

Lastly, we’re introducing CreativeCollab: a gateway to innovative learning experiences at the intersection of creativity and technology. CreativeCollab offers various services, including personalized consultations, assisted integration of advanced tools into curricula and specialized resources to enhance understanding and use of cutting-edge creative technologies. 

While students gain hands-on experience with apps and software geared toward creative expression, faculty can use CreativeCollab’s consulting services to elevate their course materials. With experts at the ready, CreativeCollab partners with faculty eager to upgrade their course designs, helping them advance the experience of the learners they serve and their understanding of 21st-century tools.
