About Us

Chris Anderson defined the Maker Movement as “the new industrial revolution”, and later Klaus Schwab of the WEF popularised the term “The Fourth Industrial Revolution” now commonly known as 4IR. The Revolution is changing the way we work and live. Ultimately 4IR will mean anyone can make anything anywhere. Everyday more people are joining the revolution as they realise the creative potential within themselves and the possibilities new technologies unlock.

Makers make things, using both cutting edge technology and age old methods, or often a combination of both. Makers find value in making something by hand, giving a physical product more value because of the thoughtful, careful and useful way it is designed and made. Makers are not aiming for a mass market for their product, they are simply expressing something they love, and in the process creating something worthwhile for the niche that they represent. Makers Openly share resources, expertise, equipment and encouragement because they choose to believe that we can do more together than we can apart.

To make this accessible to people, The MakerSpace opened its doors in 2013 to create a safe place for people to come and learn, be inspired, unlock creativity and potential, and ultimately free themselves from corporate slavery and a life of mundane work that they hate.

Having a passion for helping people, we were formally registered as the Makerspace Foundation NPC in 2018, focusing on community upliftment and social impact through our training programs across various areas of technology. Please see our foundation website here
