About Us

The Curtin Library Makerspace is a creative learning environment that fosters exploration, innovation and play through making. By encouraging self-directed learning we support individuals and groups to learn new skills and develop maker projects. We also coordinate workshops, drop-in sessions, collaborative projects and events.

Our staff

Marie Clarke is the Makerspace Coordinator. She is ably assisted two Makerspace Officers, Kylee and Bithiah, and a friendly and enthusiastic team of six students, Filiz, Rania, Reece, Ridley, Tim and Will. The Makerspace is also supported by other staff from Curtin Library.  

What we do

The Makerspace provides space, equipment and materials for creative activity. Many students and staff use the space to work on individual or group projects, either for course work or personal interest. Others come to learn or practice a new skill, or simply to spend time and relax in a friendly, creative environment.

The space is also used to hold workshops for groups such as students enrolled in units where access to a creative space and equipment can support their curriculum. It is also possible to book the space outside of opening hours for group activities such as staff professional development sessions. If you are interested in using the space for a group session or workshop, please contact the Makerspace.

Our mission

Established in 2015, the Makerspace aims to be a significant contributor to the development of a maker culture within Curtin University by encouraging cross-disciplinary sharing of ideas and experience and enabling the development of innovative projects that contribute to both the teaching and research work of the University. The Makerspace is the physical ‘hub’ or learning space for the community of makers within, or connected to, the Curtin community. We also seek to engage online, and with the wider community to build relationships and collaborative partnerships. In so doing, we aim to strengthen the reputation of the Curtin Library, and that of Curtin University, as a driver of innovation.

Curtin University acknowledges all First Nations of this place we call Australia and recognises the many nations who have looked after Country for more than 60,000 years. We are honoured and grateful for the privilege to maintain campuses operating in Boorloo (Perth) and Karlkurla (Kalgoorlie) in Australia. We pay our respects to Elders past and present as Custodians and Owners of these lands. We recognise their deep knowledge and their cultural, spiritual and educational practices, and aspire to learn and teach in partnership with them. Curtin also acknowledges First Nations peoples connected with our global campuses. We are committed to working in partnership with all Custodians and Owners to strengthen and embed First Nations' voices and perspectives in our decision-making, now and into the future.
