Makerspaces, which emerged from the maker culture, are collaborative environments where individuals come together to ideate, share skills, and bring creative projects to life. In these spaces, resources, knowledge, and tools are shared, often enabling participants to work collectively on hands-on, DIY projects. Makerspaces also offer makers the unique opportunity to design, build, and physically interact with their creations.

Makerspace@UM, established in 2021 as part of the Makers@University program by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia, embodies these principles. Its mission is to cultivate an environment within the university that fosters innovation, creativity, and the values of the maker culture among students, staff, and the broader community. Equipped with tools such as 3D printers, laser engravers, microcontroller learning kits and other equipments, Makerspace@UM provides everything needed to turn ideas into tangible outcomes.

Our vision at Makerspace@UM is to empower everyone in our community, from hobbyists to professionals, to realize their creative ambitions and drive innovation. With an emphasis on inclusivity, Makerspace@UM offers limitless learning possibilities in a vibrant and supportive environment. We’re thrilled to contribute to the Maker Movement, aligned with the latest STEM and STEAM educational trends.
