South Dakota Mines Makerspace blends engineering and art

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – South Dakota Mines hosted an open house in the Makerspace on the third floor of the Devereaux Library Wednesday to introduce community members to the advanced technology there.
Developed as a creative space where students can blend engineering objectives with artistic talent, the Makerspace allows for several activities including 3D printing, laser engraving, and pottery.
Mines Associate Vice President of Student Success Lisa Carlson said she’s seen students benefit from finding a creative outlet in the Makerspace while getting a break from the intense coursework coming from engineering courses.
More Makerspace activities open to the public will take place through the summer.

SOUTH DAKOTA (KCAU) — Two people died in a two-vehicle crash early Sunday morning, just 8 miles outside of Canton, South Dakota.
According to a press release, a 52-year-old Ford Ranger driver was traveling northbound on SD Highway 11, at the same time as a 49-year-old driver of a Volkswagen was traveling south bound. Authorities said the Volkswagen drifted into the northbound lane, where they collided head-on.
The Ford entered the ditch onto its roof, while the other came to rest in the southbound lane.
Both drivers sustained fatal injuries. There is still an investigation ongoing. Meanwhile, the persons will not be named until family is notified.
