Today we welcomed Secretary of State for Education @bphillipsonMP to @AMRCtraining on her first official university visit. The Secretary of State met our incredible apprentices, their employers and learnt how we are providing skills that businesses need now and for the future.

Comments like: “I went rogue and made a TikTok about our class trip to the @iForgeUoS, I hope that’s OK” are *chef’s kiss* 100% what brings me joy about our amazing #MADLCE cohort at @EducationSheff

A great collaborative session today for @EducationSheff undergraduates on our Digital University module and the @Maker_Futures team, learning how to use @tinkercad for 3D printing and laser cutting at @iForgeUoS makerspace. #WomeninEngineering

The next in our #MADLCE student blogs on our visit to @iForgeUoS Yutong 'Susu' Ma considers whether engagement with makerspaces can, or should, be part of every student's experience. What are the barriers? Who are these spaces 'for'?

ICYMI: The first in our #MADLCE @iForgeUoS blog series. David Evers employs Lingard et al.'s (2003) 'productive pedagogies' model to evaluate the nature of learning in a makerspace: "creations hold value beyond school work". bit.ly/3KSZEH2

Last month @SheffieldUni’s Alumni Foundation awarded almost £40,000 in grants to student clubs and societies. From supporting a student-led ‘Makerspace’ @iForgeUoS to running a musical from start to finish in only 24 hours, we’re so impressed with everything students get up to.

Hey @Ultimaker @UltimakerGB we seem to have a negative machine on time for our 5 year old Ultimaker 2 extended(s) 🤔 Bonus points if you can guess how many prints these workhorses have handled!

Thanks to you, our students are achieving extraordinary things. Such as those involved in @Sunride_UoS - a student group who design and build rockets. Their recent success at a national rocketry competition proves just how amazing the @iForgeUoS is. #ShefWeekOfThanks [2/2]
