Eva Zhang

Maker and Engineering Teacher

She is a maker and engineering teacher at MSA and a popular tech education host on Bilibili. She holds a Master of Arts in New Media and combines cross-disciplinary knowledge of art and technology to practice the idea of combining creativity and practice in education. She runs MSA's makerspace, not only instructing learners on how to turn their ideas into practical projects but also working to develop their innovative thinking and hands-on skills. On Bilibili, she spreads technology and maker education to a wider audience through lively and interesting instructional videos, helping viewers understand and master complex engineering and technology concepts.

At MSA, she is a central figure in the Makerspace, leading learners to explore the endless possibilities of combining creativity and technology. She plans and organizes open days, workshops, and daily classes at Makerspace, where learners are encouraged to participate in a variety of hands-on projects and learn how to design and make their work. At the same time, she supports teachers to help them integrate maker education into the teaching of different disciplines, breaking down disciplinary barriers and promoting cross-disciplinary learning. In addition, she is constantly transforming the Makerspace, optimizing the layout of equipment and tools to ensure that each learner has a comfortable, fun, and productive environment while creating. She pays attention to detail and makes the maker space into a creative center that integrates technology and art.

Her research is extensive, covering the practice and exploration of project-based learning (PBL) and cross-disciplinary learning. She believes deeply in the power of maker education and incorporates design thinking into her teaching to help learners develop the ability to solve practical problems. She focuses on digital manufacturing technology, teaching learners how to use 3D printers, laser cutters, and other equipment to turn ideas into physical works. In addition, she has in-depth research in the application and development of electronic circuits, the Internet of Things (IoT), and microcontroller development boards (such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi), which inspire learners to explore intelligent hardware and automation projects. She is also actively following the development of artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) technology, exploring its application prospects in education and maker spaces.
