UOW Makerspace 60 Squires Way, North Wollongong, New South Wales 2500

Welcome to the UOW Makerspace, a vibrant and inclusive creative space located at North Wollongong, Squires Way, 60. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to providing both new and experienced makers with access to tools, equipment, and training.

At UOW Makerspace, we believe in fostering a supportive and exploratory environment for everyone in the community who is interested in creating, repairing, inventing, tinkering, or learning-by-doing. Whether you're a student, staff member, or a member of the public, our doors are open to you.

Our facility offers a wide range of equipment, including a laser cutter, multiple 3D printers, a water jet cutter, sewing machine, heat press, and various hand and power tools. We provide expert training on how to use these tools, and our knowledgeable staff are always available to offer support, advice, and help brainstorm ideas.

As an establishment committed to promoting creativity and innovation, we offer themed workshops and general maker sessions for individuals and groups. These workshops cover various making techniques such as laser cutting, 3D printing, electronics, textiles, and more. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, our workshops cater to all skill levels.

In addition, we also offer general maker sessions for those who simply want to come in and use the equipment or space, similar to a gym. Our friendly staff are on hand to teach you how to operate the machines and ensure you feel comfortable getting started.

Currently, the UOW Makerspace is open free of charge to students and staff, and the latest opening times can be found on the door of the Makerspace (6.113) or by emailing [email protected].
