💫The ANU is celebrating its 80th birthday, and you're invited to join the festivities!
On 15 August, ANU Community Day brings the Kambri precinct to life with interactive workshops, exhibitions, presentations, music, face painting, and real scientific projects, alongside works from ANU student artists and musicians.
Bring your family and friends and come explore, create, and get hands-on with us at our Pop-Up in the Marie Reay Teaching Centre from 10am-4pm.
Discover tools including 3D printers, and a laser cutter, and see a MakerSpace showcase of creative student and research projects from across the university. Suitable for ages 4+, you can make your own take-home creation, try out different making activities, and help build a cardboard fortress that will grow throughout the day.
We'll be sharing sneak peeks on Instagram over the coming weeks, so be sure to follow us if you don't already.
Everyone is welcome! This is a great opportunity to show your friends and family around ANU, so bring along your mum, dad, kids, neighbour, or anyone else who might like to join in. We'd love to see you there.

Demo: Sewing Machine
The Sewing Machine is a popular tool in the MakerSpace but sometimes it is hard to know where to start. In this demonstration we will show you how to set up and operate the machines. Stitch selection, length and tension will be covered so you know how to choose the correct one for your fabric.
After the demonstrations, participants will have the opportunity to test out their new knowledge with supervision.
