USM Main Campus, PENANG, 12 March 2017 — The Makers@USM community has been officially launched during the first ever Makers@USM event with the objective of “Bringing Makers at USM Together” on 10-11th March 2017 at Dewan Utama Pelajar, here.

Makers@USM community is open to all warga@USM to join to share and exhibit innovative projects through the ideas created regardless of background and field of study. It will also becomes a platform for sharing knowledge and transferring skill among all. This will help boost innovative mindset, which will hopefully give rise to commercialization and entrepreneurship activities for the university in the future.
