Inside The Largest Makerspace: Georgia Tech’s HIVE

In this video, I take you inside the Hive, Georgia Tech's Interdisciplinary Design Commons and the largest electronics-oriented student makerspace in the country. Packed into 15,000 square feet in the rotunda of the Van Leer Building, the Hive is run entirely by student volunteers and is free for every Georgia Tech student to use, regardless of major or experience. We walk through each area of the space, see what equipment is available, and talk with the Peer Instructors who keep it running. If you're a maker, an aspiring engineer, or a prospective GT student wondering what you can actually build here, this one's for you! 0:00 Intro 0:56 Front Desk 1:12 Electronics & Bench Tops 2:06 Crafts Area 3:50 Computers & Work Space 5:06 PCB Fabrication & Resin Printers 6:14 3D Printers 6:38 Paint Booth 6:58 Machine Shop 8:02 Laser Cutters 8:43 Conclusion Hive Links Website: https://hive.ece.gatech.edu/ About the Hive: https://hive.ece.gatech.edu/about/ Equipment & parts inventory: https://hive.ece.gatech.edu/explore/ Hive Wiki: https://wiki.hivemakerspace.com/ Rules & policies: https://hive.ece.gatech.edu/rules-and-policies/ Become a Peer Instructor: https://hive.ece.gatech.edu/become-a-pi/ Newsletter: https://signup.e2ma.net/signup/2006497/1977812/ Contact: hive@ece.gatech.edu Fall 2026 hours: Mon–Fri, 10am–6pm (Sept 8 – Dec 2) Location: 777 Atlantic Dr NW, Atlanta, GA 30332 (Van Leer Building) Huge thanks to the Hive team for letting me film!
