This week, ATU MakerSpace was on the concourse of its Sligo campus, welcoming incoming students and their parents to ATU. The mobile MakerSpace was set up, complete with a 3D printer and a laser cutter.
The goal was to introduce the new students to the MakerSpace and inform them about all the opportunities it offers, regardless of their chosen course of study.
Several tours of ATU MakerSpace were conducted, where visitors had the chance to 3D print an item and create something using the laser cutter.
The Higher Education 4.0 Project, which is funded by the Human Capital Initiative (HCI) Pillar 3, uses innovation and technology to provide pathways into and through higher education and employment.
