Taylor’s Me.reka Makerspace

The Me.reka team has been engaged in a 3-year contract to establish and run the makerspace in Taylor’s University, which will serve as an ideation and solutions design centre for all graduates and postgraduates across the university. Home to a variety of tools and concerted spaces to generate rapid prototypes, cultivate innovation, and reimagine design making, the Hub welcomes all individuals regardless of background, field of expertise, or faculty as an integral vision that anyone and everyone can do more and better.

The makerspace has 3 core mandates:

1. Promoting cross-disciplinary solutions (merging fields of engineering, design, computer science, business, marketing, biomedical sciences, hospitality, tourism, culinary, etc) and developing Minimum Viable Products (MVP) that can be launched and tested in the market.

2. Focusing on the development of real-world solutions that are defined by various on-ground partners, which includes City Councils, Corporates, Governmental Agencies, local NGOs and CSOs.

3. Lastly, scaling solutions that have been proven to work with the Start-up Incubator within the university, and mentor the teams to secure their pre-seed funding and grant applications to move into the growth phase.

The Taylor's Me.reka Makerspace is also a host for the collaborative Impact4Change Platform, engaging academics, industry players, and entrepreneurial communities to solve 21st-century challenges. This all-inclusive platform fosters the quality of unity to consolidate ideas, improve on existing designs, and pursue collective impact through value-based innovation.
