The Changemaker Hub houses a community of students actively engaged in making positive change in the world. The Hub is home to Laurier’s award-winning Enactus team and welcomes all like-minded, passionate students who want to make a difference.
Join other Laurier Changemakers as you Learn – building your toolkit to make positive change, Try – volunteering in community events and applying your skills at competitions, and Do – accessing support to create ventures that make a real impact in the world. While located on the Waterloo campus, students from all campuses are welcome to join.
At the Laurier Hub for Community Solutions (LHCS) on the Brantford campus you’ll find a vibrant ecosystem of collaboration and innovation designed to provide support for groups seeking expertise to address community-based challenges and opportunities.
The LHCS assists community partners in finding appropriate collaborators for their projects within the university’s faculty, researchers and research centres, students, and the broader community.
At the Library Makerspace on the Waterloo campus you’ll find a group of people who keenly make things while learning and teaching hands-on skills across a wide variety of disciplines. The Makerspace is most interested in helping you make the things you want to make, and helping you learn new skills.
If you want to unleash your imagination and your creativity – and see where it takes you – this is the place. Fellow makers can learn, teach, complete course projects, and connect with fellow creatives. No experience required: just curiosity.
The Science Maker Lab on the Waterloo campus is a place where you can be supported with the equipment and tools to create physical prototypes, audio and video materials, and electronics/microprocessor coding.
In the fully equipped workshop and studio, staff with real-world experience and highly trained student assistants will provide you with 1:1 support to help you create materials to support a business venture, explore and communicate your ideas, or invent a solution to a problem that doesn’t currently exist. Let’s make it happen.
The StartUp Lab, operating on the Waterloo, Brantford and Milton campuses, empowers students, alumni, and community members by providing education, resources, and experiences that inspire innovation.
