Join us at the Curtin Creative Festival


October 20th, 2015 by Library Makers Category: News and Events

It’s been very exciting in the MakerSpace lately as we prepare to participate in the Curtin Creative Festival, being held from the 20 – 22 October, from 11 – 2 pm at Atkinson Forum.

We plan to be running a few fun activities over the three days in our outdoor pop-up MakerSpace.

  • Design and make a badge with the Badge Maker machine
  • Create a painting using the WaterColorBot
  • Print a pattern on an ping pong ball using the Eggbot
  • Make a electronic-powered creation using LittleBits
  • Create unusual keyboards/ game controllers using a Makey Makey
  • Create a 3D object using a 3D Doodler Pen
  • Build lego creations on Edison robots
  • Knitting, crocheting and yarn bombing.

We won’t be running them all at the same time. Instead we are going to have three of four activities going at one time, and vary them each day.

It will be interesting to see how people engage with the activities – each one presents its own challenges, not just for the participants, but for the facilitators too!

I hope you can come and join us to do some creative making!

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.

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.
