i-Space

Makerspace, sometimes called hackerspace, is a workspace where people can get together to inspire, make and create.

• Digital Makerspace​​
  The Digital Makerspace provides entry-level digital facilities to encourage students learn digital skills to construct knowledge proactively through getting hands-on learning experience and social interaction with other makers in the community. To further support students’ creative projects, staff-assisted services such as laser cutting, vinyl cutting and poster printing are also available.
• Digital Makerspace Plus
  This open learning environment is equipped with self-service maker tools and resources. This space promotes interdisciplinary learning and hands-on experimentation, empowering students from all backgrounds to work together and develop new technical competencies.​
