Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Maker Life Stories - Moody Makerspace at Baylor University
Q: How did you get the Moody Makerspace started at Baylor?
It began as a guerrilla 3D printer initiative inside the library around 2015, evolved through engagement with the dean and learning technologies, and gradually expanded with more equipment, partnerships, and dedicated spaces.
What's your Spark: Emma
Q: So, besides what you did for fun, what's the first thing that got you into making?
I started with printmaking classes before being hired and became fascinated by how hands-on processes could translate ideas into tangible objects, which led me to pursue it more deeply here.
Ignite with Steven featuring the 2025 Spark Fashion Show
Q: What was the most challenging part of bringing your look to life?
Makers cited coordinating multiple fabrication steps, ensuring fit across different garment pieces, and managing the build timeline to finish before the show, which required teamwork and space coordination.
Ignite with Steven featuring the 2025 Spark Fashion Show
Q: Could you tell us what went into designing your costume and what machines you used?
Participants described planning in advance, choosing sewing machines, sergers, 3D printers, and heat-press equipment, then iterating on fittings and details like logos and accessories to align with the Night at the Movies theme.
Maker Life Stories: Alex Heder
Q: What advice would you give for people working in collaborative spaces who must balance personal creation with critique from directors or project managers?
He suggests distinguishing between phases and audiences—creators should remember the work remains creative, stay open to critique, and allow collaboration to shape the final result without losing the playful, exploratory mindset.
