# AMS Overview

## Overview

The Yang Aero Maker Space (AMS) is a Georgia Institute of Technology College of Engineering (GT CoE) makerspace devoted to helping all students, researchers, and faculty of ANY major on GT. We have a variety of tools, all free to use. A team of undergraduate student mentors run the space, providing assistance on all the tools and additionally keeping the operations of the space running.

Some of the AMS's work include helping the GT Aerospace hands-on curriculum, hosting events and trainings, fabricating research parts, and conducting outreach in the Atlanta area for STEM.

We are located in the first floor of the Weber Building. Come in during our working hours at any time to get a tour, or start working on your next big project!&#x20;

Additionally:

* We also have a satellite self-service [Composites Lab](https://gtae.gitbook.io/ams/info/composites-lab-info-and-access) for advanced projects in the ESM building.
* The AE Machine Shop (AEMS) is available in the Montgomery Knight building for more metalworking-specific and research machining inquires.

## General Information

The AMS has an array of tools to assist your next project, from advanced 3D printers, laser cutters, wood tools, to an embroidery machine and soldering station. We are divided into a front room with 3D printers, laser cutting, electronics/craft stations, and a back room with wood/power tools and CNCs.

* Want to 3D print? Check out [3dp-info](https://gtae.gitbook.io/ams/info/3dp-info "mention")!
* Come to the space to hang out and work on projects!&#x20;
* We offer [events-and-trainings](https://gtae.gitbook.io/ams/info/events-and-trainings "mention") to build cool things to take home and get trained on tools without any prior experience, free of cost!
* A full list and technical dive into all our tools is in the Tool Guides section of the wiki. Mentors will supervise and help you use all the tools in the space but reading up beforehand helps!
* Make sure to browse around our wiki to learn all about the AMS!
