Chonnam National University (CNU) held the opening ceremony for Mandeulmaru (Makerspace) on March 28. As the only professional makerspace in the Honam region, it aims to promote Maker culture, vitalize the Maker community, train professional Makers, and establish market-oriented startup platforms by providing a venue for Makers. Mandeulmaru has a production infrastructure that inspires CNU students and local residents to fulfil their potential and help them turn their creative ideas into products. With production-related equipment including 3D printers, it operates three educational maker programs for students and local residents: Open Maker, Advanced Maker and Master Maker, and participants completing a maker program will receive a certificate with different authority and points. The makerspace implements a points system which students can earn points and use them by becoming a member, completing maker training programs and so on. Kim Hyun-ji (Senior, Dept. of Clothing), one of the managing staff at the Mandeulmaru, said, “At the makerspace, students learn and practice diverse things which are quite hard for them to experience such as startups and patents. I hope many students take part in and enjoy fun making programs.”
