About (Department)

At the heart of hands-on learning and creative exploration, Makerspace serves as a dynamic platform where students transform abstract ideas into tangible realities. With access to a wide array of materials including wood, plaster, clay, metals, plastics and many other materials which students engage in direct, material-based experimentation that nurtures both skill and imagination. Whether crafting art objects, developing functional prototypes, building proof- of-concept models for technology demonstrations, or progressing toward the commercialization of a working product, Makerspace is where innovation meets execution. It is not just a space it is an experience of making, doing, learning, and evolving.
