Here at Mississippi State, we have the Wingo Maker Studio. It's a place where students and faculty that have ideas, they can develop their products.
In the front there is the Idea Shop and it is a place that is full of retail items, and they're a combination between community members and MSU students. In the back, it is mostly a maker space, so there are several 3D printers. There is a couple of different wood cutters, basically anything you need to build, but it's on a very high scale.
The Idea Shop is set up like a gym membership. You can either pay a semester amount for a community member or an MSU student, or you can just pay a monthly fee.
It provides an outlet for student entrepreneurs that have tangible products to get first experience in retailing and get exposure to having the product in a store.
