Student Society
About The Society
We're a Cambridge University student society. Our aims are promote Makespace to members of the University community and to make membership and use of Makespace more accessible on a student budget. Our more general aims are to promote playful hands-on tinkering, adapting, bodging and creating among students.
Projects
Most recently, created a cardboard boat to take part in the 2013 annual Cambridge Cardboard Boat race. A very sturdy design let us make it to the end of the race intact and unsoggy. A sad lack of ability to steer meant we weren't the fastest though!
How to get in touch
Our mailing list is soc-makersoc-interested@lists.cam.ac.uk
We have a facebook group which can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/347350535367250/
Our meetings are also posted on the Makespace Meetup group.
Student Membership
Makespace has a student membership plan that offers students a way to only pay for the times they will use Makespace:
Student Membership is £33/month inc VAT for full student membership, but you do not get access outside of Cambridge university terms. Thus, if you are a postgrad, it might well make more sense for you to have 'normal' membership.
Students can sign up for this term-only membership at https://makespace.recurly.com/subscribe/ms-student-term-only
