  • Flexible work space
  • Work stations
  • Study areas
  • Bio/Physics lab
  • Presentation rooms
  • Robotics
  • Laptops and desktops
  • Hand-tools, power tools, and other equipment

Lab Offerings

To reserve a lab space, please contact Heidi Latendresse by calling 715.803.1703 or emailing latendresse@ntc.edu.
A student sitting at a table in the "makerspace" area of the STEM Center, which consists of several open table workspaces.

Makerspace

A place for students and community members to explore, create and develop projects. Has a variety of hands-on STEM activities, tools, equipment and supplies.
Three chairs in front of the desk of the Nano Technology Lab in the STEM Center. Various equipment is sitting on the desktop, including computer monitors, and an electron microscope

Nano Technology Labs

Lab includes a material analyzer and electron microscope
A large, FusionPro laser engraver sitting in a corner of the STEM Center.

Laser Engraving

EpilogLasers work with many materials, including wood, acrylic, fabric/textiles, treated metals, glass, and so much more. You can be etching, cutting, or marking this material – the possibilities are endless.
Three Ultimaker 3D printers sitting on a countertop, not currently in use.

3D Printing

The Ultimaker S3 and S5 are large build volume, dual extrusion 3D printers with the versatility of printing in a wide range of different thermoplastics, making them ideal for a range of applications from rapid prototyping, large models, designs and props that require geometrical design freedom capabilities, to creating on-demand parts and manufacturing tools.
A Thermo Scientific material analyzer sits on a counter in the STEM Center.

Material Analyzer

The Material Analyzer is a developer tool that helps you identify and analyze the chemistry of all materials, or material instances, in your project.
An electron microscope sitting on a table top.

Electron Microscope

The electron microscope uses a beam of electrons and their wave-like characteristics to magnify an object's image, unlike the optical microscope that uses visible light to magnify images. Electron microscopes are used to investigate the ultrastructure of a wide range of biological and inorganic specimens including microorganisms, cells, large molecules, biopsy samples, metals, and crystals.

Tutoring

Tutoring services are available in the STEM Center in the areas of: Physics, Math, Engineering, Architectural Design and Mechanical Design.

For availability, please contact the STEM Center by calling 715.803.1402.
