I'm on the faculty at Boston University in the computer science department, where I teach software engineering, intro courses, and application architecture and development. Also a bit of a Deadhead.
Many CS departments sponsor student clubs (mine does) that serve as hacker / maker spaces, and they are a great place to hang out with peers, play with new technologies, and learn by doing. We're doubly fortunate to also have a large workshop with multiple 3d printers, CNC machines, lathes, brakes, and everything else needed to build anything you can dream up. It also gives you a chance to work on social skills (because computer science :^)
Thanks for the feedback, Perry. That sounds like a really inspiring and updated department. I think that learn by doing is one of the best things teachers/departments can encourage and way better if they even sponsor or help.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
