The Brock Library’s Makerspace is helping students, faculty, staff and community members bring their creative dreams to life during March Break.
Celebrating innovation and community artists, Brock Makerfest will highlight new and digital technologies on Thursday, March 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Rankin Family Pavilion.
Makers from across Niagara will be selling their creations and answering questions about their work.
The Library’s Makerspace will also have items on display and staff will be demonstrating technology, including 3D printers and laser cutters, to raise awareness about the services they provide.
“From resin pouring to beautiful hand crocheted pieces of art and more, Makerfest is an opportunity to share our passions,” says Makerspace Supervisor Derek Schneider. “We look forward to introducing the community to other technology and ideas not seen in our day-to-day lives or thought to be too expensive to create.”
The event is free and open to the public. Visitor parking information and fees can be found on the Parking Services website.
The Makerspace is always looking for new ways to connect with Brock partners and community organizations. For more information, email makerspace@brocku.ca or visit the Makerspace website.
