About Us

Founded in the Spring of 2024 by a small group of students, our club now boasts over 90 members! Since our founding, we have supported students in fabricating various engineering & art projects, most notably a FAB Table for the A-Level Makerspace in the SHED.

Our mission is to increase accessibility to the welding experience, allow members to gain hands-on knowledge, build a community that supports student curiosity, interest, and projects, and provide networking opportunities within and beyond the RIT campus.
