Academic technology is vital to teaching and learning
Along with helping you with technology for your class projects at Cornell, the Academic Technology Studio (ATS) offers a wide range of supplies and tools that let you craft, experiment with new skills, and build transferable abilities you can use after graduation.
You’ll find a Mac lab that doubles as a quiet workspace with high-quality computers, Adobe graphic design software, a green screen, lighting equipment, and a dedicated four-person podcasting space. In the Makerspace, you can learn to create using 3D printers, laser and vinyl cutters, and sewing, embroidery, and serging machines. There’s also a soundproof two-person podcasting studio where you can record audio.
ATS staff and student workers are ready to support you with tech help and skill-building. Whether you're working on a class assignment or exploring a personal interest, the ATS is a welcoming space where you can try something new.
Resources you can access at the ATS
3D printers
You have access to two filament printers and one resin printer for personal or class projects. For personal projects, you’ll need to pay for the resin and filament you use.
Sewing Machines and Serger
You can use two sewing machines, an embroidery machine, and a serger for personal projects. We also offer a variety of free fabric and materials to get you started.
Laser Cutter
Our Glowforge Aura laser cutter can cut and etch materials like wood, vinyl, and paper. You can use the machine for free, but you’ll need to provide or purchase your own materials.
Vinyl Cutter
With our Silhouette Cameo 4 vinyl cutter, you can create stickers and custom decals. You’ll need to bring or buy your own materials.
Podcasting Equipment
You can record in one of our two permanent podcasting setups: a soundproof two-person studio or a four-person setup in the ATS classroom. We also offer USB microphones and podcasting kits for checkout.
Graphic Design Software
Our Mac computers in the ATS are equipped with Adobe graphic design software. If you’re new to the tools, our ATS team is here to help you learn.
Video Equipment
You can borrow DSLR cameras, tripods, lighting, and other video equipment from the ATS classroom. Our staff will help you choose the right gear for your project.
Calculators
We have a small selection of calculators available for checkout to support your classwork.
