Vicki Huang
Working in the Telstra Creator Space, I managed to upskill in a lot of metal working tools and find new ways to apply what I was learning in class, to something physical and real that demonstrated the concepts from my lectures. I’ve also met so many incredible, new people from the team and got to know them through my hours of making.
