It’s not all serious engineering work at @atu_ie MakerSpace as this 3D-printed Wolverine mask proves. The room was busy with lots of laser-cutting for the Interior Architecture students and some cool robotics for the Mechanical Engineering teams. @stulawntweets @hassandabbagh

ATU MakerSpace was at its Sligo campus this week, welcoming incoming students and their parents to ATU. Our mobile MakerSpace was set up, complete with a 3D printer and laser cutter. Our goal was to inform them about all the opportunities it offers, regardless of their course.
