I was also a pioneer in setting up a photo studio and an audio studio for student's at Singapore Polytechnic Library.Projects Completed, - Project Makercade - Using a second hand computer and scrap wood dumped around the campus, the Makerspace student crew (3 members) managed to reignite retro gaming within the library premises by making a gaming arcade. It is completely free for students to use, and comes with a wide variety of games to choose from. - Project Cajon - My individual project whereby scrap wood was put together with a snare to create an upcycled cajon. It's on display at Singapore Polytechnic's main library for students to play. - Project Elaine - A guitar, severely damaged, found in a campus rubbish dump, was upcycled to put on display at the Main Library and for students to play. The guitar body was repainted with Laqueor, fret board was repolished and painted and the missing guitar nut was 3D designed, printed and assembled on the guitar. Show less
