Overview

University students! We want to see the DIY projects that meaningful improve your lives, whether they’re dorm hacks to circumvent a ban on grilling or your meticulously-designed final ARCH326 project. If it’s something made for school, we wanna see it. You needn’t be a student to participate, but your project should fit within a small living space without costing too much money. We’re giving away a Macbook Air, so put off your reading and get your hands dirty.
