A "virtual" experience at a "real" Team Building exercise at the Library today. This was the @RendeverHealth "Winged-Flight" experience. Still great engagement to be had with VR & AR. We have 8 of these. Who is keen? @Makerspaces_com @WiljDekkers @Mr_Liu17 @L2_S2S @lightshow

We love upcycling. An innovative Rec & Sport swim instructor works in Library makerspace to laser cut trophies from old EVA foam kick boards. Learning new skills & less landfill. @Makerspaces_com @ChristchurchCC @WiljDekkers @L2_S2S @Mr_Liu17 #reuse

Library Makerspace used to produce "fine art" pieces by one of our regular users. Exhibition consisted of work by the guy pictured, his Mum, Sister and Dad for engineering work. Access to the gear was crucial. The work was awesome! @Makerspaces_com @L2_S2S @lightshow @WiljDekkers
