Hosting nearly 100 CPS students for a robotics event; co-hosting an event with Dick Blick; providing a tour of the space to a major competitor. All of these things and more happened at the IRL this November. In addition to that, as we entered Winter break during the latter half of the month, student workers began building necessary makerspace improvements and doing some much-needed cleaning and organization.

With the middle of December already approaching, we've also put several internal and external events on the books. What that means, practically speaking, is that (at least for Winter Intercession) the cost of keeping the IRL open is significantly offset by payments from other DePaul departments and outside groups. This is something we should pay attention to!
