The CITRIS Invention Lab is a maker space on the UC Berkeley campus providing expertise, tools, materials and support to design and prototype projects.

The first tech maker space on the Berkeley campus when it opened in 2012, the Invention Lab provides an array of traditional prototyping equipment that ranges from the basic craft tools to machining and electronics instruments. It also offers a unique opportunity for researchers on all four CITRIS campuses to create, produce and package prototypes that can be tested and ultimately pitched to potential users, customers and investors.
