  Welcome Makers Lab Technician, Jenny Tai! 

  

  You may remember that I introduced new Makers Lab staff member Jenny Tai back in April on Off the Shelf. Well, I am excited to announce that Jenny has accepted the Makers Lab Technician position and will be working full-time in the Makers Lab starting this week. Jenny will help ensure the equipment in the Makers Lab is running smoothly and will also support UCSF-maker projects, including the upcoming Mobile Makers Lab service.

  Jenny has already contributed to the Makers Lab in a number of ways. One example is her very popular infographic on Makers Lab usage that was featured on the Library home page this summer.

  Jenny is a great fit for the Makers Lab Technician position with her background in Cognitive Science, Human-Computer Interaction from UC San Diego, where she worked on user experience and wayfinding projects in addition to other maker endeavors as an avid user of UCSD’s makerspace.

  In her spare time Jenny enjoys drawing and design using both traditional and digital media, good sci-fi horror, and being nostalgic over 90’s animation.

  Join me in welcoming Jenny to the Library, this time as the Makers Lab Technician. Jenny will soon be located in the CKM and you will also be able to find her supporting innovative and creative projects in the Makers Lab, so please stop by and say hi!

  Wonder what’s going on in the Makers Lab? Check out a few projects and events from the past few months on Google Photos.
