The University of Kent’s Maker Society It’s a Wednesday night and you have decided that you want to MAKE something.

But, where on campus do you go if you want to do some sewing? Perhaps you have an itch to turn something on a lathe or want just want to send a radio wave around the world? Tinkersoc, Kent’s Maker society, is the place to go. Wether it’s 3D printing something, or cutting through materials with lasers, we have the tools and experience to help you with your project. We even run workshops, so that yo

u can pick up new skills (no experience is required!)

So, if this has piqued your interest and you want to hang out with like-minded people who enjoy making things, then pop along to The Shed (the School of Computing’s Makerspace - located in the Cornwallis Quad) from 7PM on a Wednesday night! Your first time at Tinkersoc is always free and subs go towards hosting workshops and funding new tools.
