On January 24, a two-hour training session on handling sewing machines was held at the Korea University (KU) Maker¡¯s Space (X-Garage#1). Located in Innovation Hall, KU Maker¡¯s Space provides a place for KU students and faculties to make any object they desire.
Training started with a brief introduction of the instructor Jo Junhee, who is a project director at the Hardware accelerator company named N15. Jo explained that N15 has conducted the Maker¡¯s Space project for four years and has also provided the education required. Since utilizing equipments without firsthand experience might be dangerous, Jo addressed a few safety rules before the practice. He first gave a demonstration on how to make embroidery and showed the correct way of putting the yarn inside the household sewing machine. Then, all KU students got a chance to operate the machine on their own.
About the question on why becoming familiar with various equipments in the KU Maker¡¯s Space is especially important for students, Jo pointed out that all equipments in KU Maker's Space are those mainly used for making product prototypes. ¡°These equipments are not very hard to use¡± he added, explaining that through KU Maker¡¯s Space, ¡°students are given chances to turn their creative ideas into real products.¡± Jo showed a strong belief in that such usage will bring optimistic outcomes.
