About the workshop

Experience Unleash Space's Maker Space by attending this 2 hour workshop!

You will be introduced to different tools and equipment and learn the basics of 3D printing, laser cutting, and vinyl cutting ( if you are a research student, you may then wish to utilise these for your 2020 research showcase creative submissions!)

Talk to our knowledgeable Creative Technologists about how you can make the most of the Maker Space for your personal projects (or the 2020 research showcase) and get inspired by seeing and hearing about other students' projects!

The workshop will be run as a free-for-all where you can pick and choose which pieces of equipment you would like to learn to use.

Please ensure you are wearing close-toed shoes and any hair below shoulder-length is tied back before entering the space.
