Give Get of the CCW Pop-Up Digital MakerSpace
The main objective of the CCW Pop-Up Digital MakerSpace project is to develop staff and student inter-disciplinary resources of expertise, which could provide a model of support for emergent digital practice through a pop up style MakerSpace and community network.
The community of interest groups are motivated by shared interest of mutual learning and support. The groups collectively work towards specific goals of developing workshops/demos/hacks/showcase or Jam activities and events, which could ‘pop up’ in any location to support learning and teaching.
Give Get & Rules of the CCW Pop-Up Digital MakerSpace:
- It's not a service: a voluntary community who come together via informal meet-ups, workshops & events
- Safe/Fail experiments only: not suitable for meeting course deadlines, submissions & assessments
- Contribute: Give something back to the community in some way share resources, tips, help others etc.
- Stay connected: Once your a UAL Digital MakerSpacer your always a UAL Digital MakerSpacer
