Appreciating our space


November 29th, 2017 by Library Makers Category: Articles

We love our Makerspace’s new home, and the extra space has enabled us to do so much more.

Wai from Curtin Student Guild club AVRN Curtin values the Makerspace as a platform for discussion and education about immersive technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality. He said it is useful as a space for collaboration with other individuals, clubs and organisations. “The larger venue is fantastic, as there is more space for crafting, making, hacking and programming; which helps bring in people in to take part in our activities.”

Associate Professor Artur Lugmayr from the School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts uses the Makerspace for student works as part of lectures and creative workshops. He says it is particularly well suited for design thinking sessions due to the atmosphere of the space and equipment available.



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.
