#Makerspace Tonight! Room C130 6.30 @LancasterUniLib until whenever. What are we doing? Building robots, but most probably setting up the just arrived #VR Headsets. The future is now, and it looks a lot like flailing around embarrassingly in a #library.

[Lancaster University Makers @lu_makers]

Problem solved. No more dragging the @CoderDojo box everywhere! #laptopsareheavy

[Lancaster University Makers @lu_makers]

Have you enough @makerbeam parts and #Meccano to temporarily build a #makerspace sign? We do! Don't worry, they will be a #robot soon enough ,👍😄

[Stephen Robinson @StephenJamesRob]

After nearly 2 years of conversations and background work finally have @github enterprise being available for all members of @LancasterUni through @GitHubEducation it's early days but this should be a great resource for everyone, PS. I have many stickers available

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded funding from the @LancasterUni Friends Programme, jointly with @LancasterUniLib @LUMakerspace & @BLSLancasterUni, to acquire VR equipment to enhance our digital teaching and learning! #VirtualReality #VR #edtech

[Lancaster University Makers @lu_makers]

@stickermule The Makerspace needs labels :) Here's hoping 😄👍

[Lancaster University Makers @lu_makers]

Oh hello. Mystery parcel arrived for some of the #makers. Have to wait until Wednesday Maker Night to look inside though! #exciting #makerbeam

Schoolchildren will be able to visit the only inflatable #planetarium in the North West thanks to @LancUniPhysics @LancsUniSciTech @LancasterUni. The planetarium - called LUniverse - could inspire the next generation of space scientists. https://t.co/grhcmHwdwu
