A place to turn knowledge into something that works.
Silicon's Makers Lab was inaugurated in September 2021 to give students a place to learn new technologies by building with them. Its central objective is proof-of-concept development: turning an idea into a working system under the guidance of experienced mentors.
The facility brings together electronic components, sensors, microcontrollers, open-source platforms, 3D printers and general toolkits. Activities are governed through the Student Innovation Promotion Cell, linking open-ended making with the university's wider research and innovation culture.
Capabilities built around making.
Embedded systems
Working with microcontrollers, sensors and electronic components to create responsive devices.
Open-source hardware
Learning from accessible platforms that make experimentation and iteration faster.
3D printing
Producing housings, fixtures and custom parts for integrated proof-of-concept builds.
Mentored making
Developing technical confidence with guidance from experienced faculty and mentors.
The intended outcomes
- Give students experience with emerging technologies
- Turn student concepts into working demonstrations
- Create a visible home for campus innovation activity
