Did you know that as a student, you have access to the Library MakerSpace, Special Collections and the University Gallery and Museum, to support and complement your learning and research experience?
For example, Oral Health students have used the Library MakerSpace to learn how to use 3D scanning and modelling software and 3D printing to create teeth models to improve their identification and manual dexterity skills.
You can also learn how to knit, use a 3D printer, fly a drone and much more!
The Library MakerSpace holds regular free workshops on various creative skills at Ourimbah as well as pop-ups in the Auchmuty Library and other locations.
The University of Newcastle has a vast archive and special collection. You can visit the Special Collections web page for information and links to the collections. You can also search the Special Collections digital repository, Living Histories.
Make a booking in the special collection reading room to view items within the collection.
