Maker Space Conference 2016

DATTA Vic welcomes you to our annual Makerspace Conference, and to the Northern College of the Arts & Technology (NCAT).

Makerspace will explore STEM learning & teaching, creative problem solving and design thinking – as well as celebrating the joy of making!

The program will also provide an exciting opportunity for delegates to explore best practice in new technologies, new approaches to teaching and learning, and to prepare for the New Technologies Curriculum through a range of practical and seminar-style workshops.

Thanks to Hans Chang from Protoworks and Fab9 for running our makerspace, and to our trade exhibitors for offering a wide range of hands-on activities and tinkering opportunities for delegates!

We are also delighted to be running our live student competition, So You Think You Can Design as a textiles event.

Students from different schools will compete in a range of design challenges, from creating mood boards to full scale prototypes.

These tasks will be completed throughout the day, and you’ll be able to watch the participants as they work.

Thanks to Katrina Wheaton-Penniall for running this event! SYTYCD highlights new techniques and possibilities within Product Design and Technology, as well providing both participants and spectators with entertainment and inspiration!

We’re delighted to welcome Bernina Australia and Beyond Tools on board as project sponsors.
