About Us
Makerspaces that grew out of maker culture are areas or spaces where people gather to ideate, collaborate, make, and create. In a makerspace, people focus on sharing supplies, skills, and ideas and often work together on DIY projects. Makerspaces allow makers to touch and feel their product after designing and subsequently building it.
History
As one of the Makerspaces, Makerspace@UM was established in 2021 under the Makers@University program initiated by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia. The establishment of Makerspace@UM is an effort to create a working space within the university that enhances innovation and creativity and to inculcate the Maker Culture among students, staff, and the general public.
This makerspace has various tools and equipment, such as 3D printers, laser engraver, desktop computers, and microcontrollers/microprocessor learning kits. Makerspace@UM aspires to enable everyone to create the things they desire!
