The
School by Jaya One (The School) joins forces with KakiDIY to launch its
first-ever MakerLAB, an upcycling makerspace that encourages learning,
creation, innovation and invention using available resources. This makerspace
will act as a hub, gathering creative, curious people who enjoy learning and
sharing what they love to do.
MakerLAB
is The School’s maiden effort at developing its enrichment offering for
children and youth ages 6 to 16. in the coming months, a succession of
education and extracurricular providers will join MakerLAB on the first floor
of The School, providing youths with the avenue to explore the sciences.
”We
want to initiate the first step and take STEM (science, technology, engineering
and mathematics) to the next level. MakerLAB will be a hub for all young
entrepreneurs, scientist, crafters, engineers and artists to create and
innovate. The world is all about moving towards renewable energy, and The
School wants to do its part in enriching the younger generation in the aspect
of environmental awareness,” said Charles Wong, Executive Director of Tetap
Tiara Sdn Bhd, the developer of The School by Jaya One.
Spearheaded
by KakiDIY, a
leading community on the Maker’s Movement in Malaysia, makers can carry out
classes and workshops ranging from arts and craft, STEM, Coding, Electronics,
Woodcrafts, Pottery, Sewing, 3D Printing and more. The space is equipped with
classroom space, a workshop area, worktops, ample flooring, good lighting and
ventilation. Additionally, the workshop area is furnished with electronic
tools, handheld power tools and 3D printers.
The
MakerLAB is a joint collaboration between KakiDIY and The School by Jaya One.
"The three main excuses of the public when it comes to DIY
(Do-It-Yourself), repairs and making things are ‘no space’, ‘no tools’ and ‘no
experience’. Hence makerspaces are the perfect solutions to this problem. As
The School is an enrichment mall, it is the right place to host the like-minded
MakerLAB here," said Johnson Lam, the founder of KakiDIY.
MakerLAB
is the first phase to create an upcycling culture amongst youth. With its
current space of 3000 to 5000 sq ft, The School and KakiDIY will take this
initiative to the second phase, which is to build an Environmental Control Lab
in the coming months for the greater purpose of saving our mother nature.
Towards this noble cause, The School will be home to all Mini Maker Faire in
the Klang Valley in the future.
Following the
prominent launch of the MakerLAB, Mini Maker Faire will be held in KL for the first time on the
25 and 26 of November - to celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the DIY
culture. Hosted by The School and KakiDIY, the festival is licensed by Makezine and supported by TEfourP Enterprise, PCBWay, Dremel Malaysia and Gurl Studio.
The event will have approximately 80 booths showcasing maker's
exhibitions, maker's retail products as well as workshops, amongst others.
Guests are encouraged to explore the experiential zones – namely Art Zone, Tech & Electronics Zone, Science
Zone, Hands On Zone and Workshop/Talk Zone.
The two-day festival will also feature a great deal of hands-on
activities for budding and experienced makers, such as String Art, Tangram
Puzzles, Slime Making, Origami Building, DIY Hologram, LED Throwies, Ice Cream
Stick Photo Frame Making, Paper Helicopter Making and many more. There will
also be a Demo and Drone Experience booth on the first floor of The School,
Jaya One.
Additionally, attendees can look forward to a host of exciting
workshops, most notably the Making of Storm Trooper Helmet, Lightsaber, 3D
Printing, Augmented Reality (AR) / Virtual Reality (VR), Soldering and Repair
coached by the KakiDIY community. To further cultivate the younger generation
in arts and science, there will be talks revolving around the theme of Science,
Drone, Robots and Makers’ experience at the main stage.
Admission is free. For more information, visit
