Lambert Le

Hardware Designer and Maker of Things

Who am I?

Most recently, I founded Helios Makerspace. I graduated from Computer Engineering in 2013 and have considerable interest for robotics. It is a well balance mix of mechanical, electrical and software engineering. I have a passion for learning and teaching the knowledge acquired. Throughout my involvement in student life since college and founding Helios Makerspace after graduation, I became fascinated by team dynamics and team building. There is a great deal of satisfaction with mediating discussion, solving conflicts and uniting a group towards a common objective.

Community Contribution

I made it my priority to solve a problem in my local community: the lack of space and access to tools for projects. Thus, I have been working on pooling the ressources into local workshops to better serve the community.

IEEE Concordia

The only engineering lab on campus open to all students

IEEE Concordia's mandate is to provide an electronic laboratory for students to eliminate the enormous amount of paperwork needed to get access to a university lab

Helios Makerspace

The 1st Makerspace in Montreal

The Makerspace's mission is to provide the tools to the community necessary to materialize an idea by providing access to welding, metalworking, woodworking, electronics and 3D printing.

Feel free to contact me.
