Luke Henderson

I'm Luke a maker from Manchester, UK. I've been living in Shenzhen for almost 6 years. From a young age I loved making you could always find me in the shed making some toy or new invention from a few pieces of wood. When I was in high school I started to teach myself programming and 3D design. Despite the fact that I love making, I also love to learn new languages, which led me to start traveling around Asia, eventually settling on Shenzhen as my new home.
 I first taught English here but soon realized Shenzhen was a paradise for makers, which took me into setting up my own 3d printing business teaching 3D design to kids. After a short while I designed my own maker curriculum which covered all kinds of topics, everything from woodwork to programming. I have attended quite a few maker faires as a visitor and also manning my own booths, at maker faires in Tokyo, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. In my previous company I was chosen to represent our bluetooth robot at Tokyo Makerfaire due to my Japanese speaking ability. in 2016 I was tasked with setting up and running a maker space within a co-working space and charged with the event management, which I gained a wealth of experience about startup businesses from. 
After that I was in a few startups of varying success. In 2017 I joined M5 which is a modular prototyping device designed to be easy to create any of your ideas. At M5 I wear many hats as is expected in the startup world. I look forward to teaching and sharing experience related to STEM education
