FirstBuild: A free resource for engineers and students

By Kyeland Jackson–

With finals fast approaching, U of L students are gathering their resources to finish the year on a good note. Some students, particularly engineers, are tasked to create an invention without the tools to do so. They may not know that FirstBuild, essentially a library of engineering equipment and services, is welcome for their use – for free.

First Build, a partnership between General Electric Appliances and Local Motors, opened the summer of last year. Attached to the engineering garage, FirstBuild allows for anyone 18 and older to enter the premises and use their equipment.
