Director's Message

Dear Colleagues,

It’s a great pleasure to congratulation Dr John Debs (QST) on his recent appointment to Head of the ANU MakerSpace. He and the Makerspace team have received School, College and Central strategic support to expand the activities of Makerspace to engage curriculum developers, ANU entrepreneurs and other ACT maker communities. This will ensure that their signature open-access model for design and fabrication will continue to grow. I’m so pleased to see Makerspace receive this broad level of support across the ANU. Many will know John as an enthusiastic educator in our undergraduate program and it is great to have him lead a new phase for Makerspace. John is seen above during one of his VR classes in the Marie Reay building, being interviewed by Liane Joubert (CLT), (credit: Rafael Florez, CLT).

Have a good week,
Tim
