Media Makerspace

A space in the National Library dedicated to personal, non-commercial projects related to various media: sound, image, software code, 3D modelling or virtual reality. 

• Did you find an old photo film with your parents’ adventures and would like to transfer it into a digital format?
• Dreaming about developing photos in a photo lab and watching how the image on the photo paper becomes visible in red light?
• Want to record and edit video or audio?
• Perhaps you’d like to convert VHS video cassette tape into digital format, but don’t have the equipment to do it?
• Or dreaming of creating an automated cat-feeding machine, a smart greenhouse or a robot that greets guests at home using controls, sensors, and old printer parts?
• Want to try on virtual reality glasses?

You can do all that at Media Makerspace! You will, of course, have to work independently, but you can get technical help from our curators.

What do we have at Media Makerspace?

Makerspace has 10 individual workplaces with computers adapted to various activities: scanning photo films, editing video and audio files, programming, and creating 3D graphics or virtual reality projects.  There is a photo lab, and equipment for viewing and listening to film tapes, video and audio cassettes. Also, a space for creating projects using Arduinos and other microcontrollers, and testing various sensors and accessories.

You may also use equipment from PATS SAU Makerspace: 3D printer, vinyl cutter, heat press, laser cutter and other tools if your project requires.
