Overview of the Makerspace

Welcome to The Makerspace Society!

The Makerspace is the University of Bath's entirely student-run workshop. Here, we lower the barrier of entry for makers by providing accessible tools for woodworking, 3D printing, electronics, textiles and more! All hobbies and skill levels are welcome to visit us. We also provide technical know-how and engaging events to encourage making and tinkering, thanks to the incredible team of volunteers here.


Contact Us

We are open on weekdays 10am-5pm during term time to all students and staff at the university. 

We are located in 4E 2.29, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It's a little tucked away, so here is a useful guide to finding us.

Keep up with our events by following us on Instagram, and stay in touch with the community by joining our Discord server or WhatsApp group! You can also reach us by emailing su-makerspace@bath.ac.uk.


Get Involved

Our getting started page is a handy guide made for newcomers covering the mandatory induction to use our equipment. Don't let that worry you though, inductions are quick and easy!

Next, take a look at our calendar to see all the fun things we have planned. We are constantly updating it, so it's worth a visit every now and then!

For those curious about the competitions we host, this section tells you all about our annual Sumo Robot comp. Once again, more competitions will be posted so keep an eye out!

You can also check out our resources section for free online classes or documents on 3D printing, coding, or general making and fabrication.

If you're looking for equipment for your project, check our equipment list and see if we have the tools to suit your needs.

Meet the Committee 2026-2027

Chair: Josh Dawn

Hi everyone! I am a second year Mech Eng student who loves to make things. You’ll see me in the makerspace having lots of impossible sounding ideas from racing the freshers on drift karts to setting up the UoB forge. 

In terms of makering I love to work with wood, doing lots of carvings and turnings. I am also currently learning how to do blacksmithing and I have been experimenting with making jewellery, all in the hopes of creating a proper metal workshop open to everyone :)

Vice Chair: Matt Karbowski

Hello, I'm a second year for Mech Eng who is always happy to help with projects or odd jobs.

You'll probably find me working on something to do with guitars. Apart from that, I also love photography, music and collecting CDs!

Treasurer: Eddie Hoang

Hi! I'm a third year Mech Eng student and I'm the one to ask about 3D printing! You will very likely find me in The Makerspace since I decided to make it second home since 2nd year. I've always had a thing for 3D printing and that's the big reason why I joined Makerspace, for our fancy set of printers! Do ask me about your prints!

Other than nerding out about 3D printing, I also play badminton, chess, horror games, YuGiOh (I'm the best Dark Magician player u'll ever meet), and I can solve a Rubic's cube.

Events Director: Alex Stanciu

Hi! I'm Alex and I'm starting my third year of architecture! I'm the Events Director for the year and you'll see me on the Parade running our stalls!

A lot of my work involves art and technology, lots of bees and ambitious installations!
You'll catch me baking, going on hikes to catch the sunset off a hill, or rushing coursework last minute!

Media Sec: Bella Law

Hey everyone! I’m in third year Mech Eng and you might find me working on random projects in the Makerspace when trying to escape coursework.

Typically, I like to make costumes, including sewing entire outfits and making hyper realistic props using various materials from foam to 3D prints! Aside from my degree and makering, I also enjoy cooking/baking, rhythm games, card games, hikes- the list goes on.

Robot Fighting League Manager: Charlie-Ray Foxwell

Yo yo yooooo. I'm second year IMEE. I'm an entrepreneur spending most my time building a fighting robot toy startup in The Makerspace. I also run our Sumo Robot competition. We've got a new arena for this year- it's gonna be wicked.

Feel free to come chat to me about startups, the Sumo Robot competition, or any other help you need. Outside of engineering, I do calisthenics, running, watch anime, and love house music. AND PASTA!

Textiles Lead: Alex Delves-Broughton

Heyo, I'm Alex, a 2nd year IMEE student. You can find me in The Makerspace, possibly making something.

I enjoy textiles and have dabbled in various crafts such as crochet and needle felting. I recently got really into lacemaking as well. Outside of makering I like gaming and I occasionally play the piano.

General Committee: Bana El-Ghossein

Hey there! I’m a 2nd year Mech Eng student that’s always down to work on fun side projects.

If you can’t catch me in the engineering building then I’m probably out on some random side quest around the city.

My hobbies include playing piano, hiking, and going to the gym :D

General Committee: Naina Surana

Heya! I am a second year Mechanical Engineering student and I love sketching new fun things. You will probably see me around makerspace doing some random crafty stuff. 

I am really interested in AI Safety and development so reach out if you ever wanna have a conversation on that :) I also enjoy badminton, fine art, baking, hiking… well the list never ends!
