• Key learnings Making of biomaterial Laser engrave and cut biomaterial

• Application to Teaching As I mentor students for project work, innovation in the use of biomaterial now is one of the options. I shared the idea with some groups of students as well.

• Next steps I want to make trays using such biomaterial as gift to guest to our makerspace. Will experiment with the recipe to make it better and beautiful.

-Sustainable Practices Makerspace utilise recyclable material as making/tinkering material. We have upcyling lamp and other workshop involving recycling theme as well. Will continue to explore other workshop ideas link to sustainability and plan activities with the Green Club in school as well. Sciene Research Centre has some project conducting studies on the use of recycled plastics to make into filament.

• Culturally Reflective Learning and Digital Fabrication We have a workshop “Neon Light Sign” for students and exchange students or external guests. Having this workshop to be conducted with both local and external students together will be a good opportunity to share and appreciate each other culture through making.
