Makerspace

Makerspace is a pilot project within Academic Skills Centre. It's a creative space where you can explore, build, and learn – together with others.

Welcome to the Makerspace – a place for curiosity, creativity, and collaboration! As a student, you’re invited to explore both tech and textile crafts, no matter your previous experience. Try out 3D modeling, program in Python, experiment with electronics, or discover crochet, knitting, and sewing. This is a space where you can learn at your own pace, exchange ideas, and be creative in an inspiring environment.


What can you try or create?

Right now, we offer opportunities in both tech and textiles:

Tech

  • 3D modeling and 3D printing
  • Programming in Python
  • Electronics projects with Arduino

Textile crafts

  • Crochet
  • Knitting
  • Sewing

Spring activities – Open Workshop and Themed Workshops

🛠️ Open Workshop – starts March 31 (drop-in)

Mondays at 16:00–17:30

We want the Makerspace to grow through your ideas!

Here are some themes that could fit in the Makerspace:

  • Textile reuse and creative sewing
  • Raspberry Pi, programming, and smart homes (IoT)
  • Posters, zines, and graphic design
  • AI and model training
  • Storytelling with sound, images, or text
  • VR and digital experiences
  • LEGO and creative construction
