The UIS Giving Day is live! The Orion Lab will be represented in the UIS Student Union from 12:00pm-1:15pm today. We will have a 3D printer on display and will be giving away some of our random printed items.

Please stop by during that time if you have a chance!

Through this giving campaign we are trying to fund workstations for students to utilize to help with their learning. The lab is going to be providing the computers and monitors, but we need help providing the desks, chairs, and peripherals.

If you have the opportunity to help with this goal, you can make a donation here: https://give.communityfunded.com/o/university-of-illinois-springfield/i/faculty-staff-campaign-2024/s/orion-lab

Any help is appreciated, even if it is just liking and sharing this post!

Each workstation will need around $1,000 in donations to be completed, and we are hoping for 5 workstations by the end of this semester, so we have some work to do!

The Orion Lab is a lab that is open to any community member that wishes to use our services. We have 3D printers, CNC Machines, Laser Cutters and High Performance Computers, among other thing.

Due to the overwhelming response from the UIS student body, we were forced to close registration for Humans vs Zombies. The game cannot support any new players. This does not affect any current players.

Look what these Humans Vs Zombies players have been up to! They give a video demonstration of how creative humans can get when defending themselves from zombies!

Come out to Stars Lounge on Sunday evening (8/12) to sign up for Humans vs Zombies and watch the Walking Dead season 5 premiere! Sign up starts at 6:00pm and the Walking Dead premiere begins at 8:00pm. Registration for Humans vs Zombies is now open at http://hvzsource.com/csclub2014/. If you sign up before the event, make sure to write down your ID and come to SLB to pick up your bandana.

What’s Humans vs Zombies!? Humans vs Zombies is a campus-wide game of tag. All players begin as humans, and one is randomly chosen to be the “Original Zombie”. The Original Zombie tags human players and turns them into zombies. Zombies must tag a human and then report the feast within 48 hours, or the Game Master may impose sanctions. Humans may stun zombies for 15 minutes by hitting them with sock. See our HvZ Source page for a full explanation of the rules!
