Drop-in @ the Makerspace


March 2nd, 2017 by Marie Category: News and Events

The Curtin Library Makerspace is an exciting space that brings together innovation, design and fabrication for all members of the Curtin community and beyond.

New to Semester 1, 2017, we are trialing opening up the Library Makerspace from 10am – 2pm, Monday to Friday.

We hope to increase awareness of, and use of this space by encouraging the Curtin community to ‘drop-in’, no appointment necessary! Some of the things we aim to promote and inspire are:

  • Evoke a sense of community among the makers within, or connected to Curtin;
  • Make our specialised materials & equipment obtainable to users;
  • Foster creative thought, skill building & sharing;
  • Encourage cross-disciplinary interaction, inquiry, learning, and collaboration;
  • Facilitate project work and research between students and staff; and
  • Have the makerspace available for academics to be able to incorporate ‘making’ and/or use of our equipment into their curriculum.

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.
