A recently retired Philosophy professor, Nim knows his way around the Maker Hub. Nim has experience with electronics projects and 3D modeling using Fusion 360 and is an experienced woodworker.

This year, Nim will have regular office hours in the Hub (Mondays, 6-9 PM in MH-Downtown), lead a workshop (details to come), help mentor Elon Kickbox students, and create the newest escape room for Maker Takeover 2025. We are very excited to have Nim supporting Elon students and faculty/staff as they explore ideas and make stuff.

Stop by the Maker Hub – Downtown during his office hours on Mondays, 6-9 PM, starting Sept. 2. Or email him to set up a time to discuss your project.
