Makerspace @ UNIMAS :
Realising The Maker Movement Through And Informal Learning Space To Nurture Innovation

Makerspace @ UNIMAS is an open lab for students and staff to get creative and build their own digital products using various tools that are currently available in the lab. The lab has been established early 2018 to initiate “the maker movement” , a social movement to revolutionize a global maker culture where people solve problems using modern tools and technology. There are several stations for soldering work, 3D printing, programming and drone technology demonstration. The lab has become a space for students who participate in hackathons and maker challenge to brainstorm with their teammates and create solutions.

The idea of a collaborative learning space for creating digital solutions was bought by the management of Woodlands International School in Sibu, Sarawak to improve their learning environment. UNIMAS collaborated with the school in designing two classrooms and selecting gadgets that were suitable for their students and teachers to use. By September 2019, the classrooms were ready to use, and four faculty staff went to Sibu for three days to train 15 teachers on how to use the gadgets and conduct learning activities for their students. On the 22nd September 2019, the STEM Digital Makerspace at Woodlands International School was officially launched by Assistant Minister of Education, Science and Technological Research, Dr. Annuar Rapa’ee.
