MakerRepo is a repository of design projects free for everyone to use and share.  MakerRepo acts as a source for students to access projects created by makers in the community.  Projects are submitted by students on an ongoing basis.  These projects form a knowledge base that is accessible by the rest of the community.  The richer the contributions by the community and students, the more valuable MakerRepo will be for past, present and future students and clients.
