What is The Makerspace?
The Makerspace is an open access workshop for all SEMS students and staff. It operates under the same umbrella as the Mechanical Workshop and the Whitehead Aerospace Laboratory.
It is, as the name implies a space where you can make things, this might be prototyping, model making, jigs / fixtures or any kind of practical artifact as part of your degree. We do also support working on your own personal projects (subject to terms).
Our primary aim in The Makerspace is to give students the practical, and creative skills they will require to be effective engineers.
So please come join us and lets get making!
