Revive your old T-shirt with a statement print, reprint a lost game piece, or design a stamp: MeetUp at the Humboldt Forum!

In this three-hour workshop, anyone interested is invited to learn about and try out various maker space technologies. On various dates (see below), we explain how laser cutters, 3D printers, cutting plotters, sewing machines, and embroidery machines can be used to make useful items for everyday life. Inspired by the museum’s current exhibitions and themes, participants can design and create their own graphics and objects on a laptop using Inkscape or Tinkercad software. If you are skilled, you can take a finished product home with you at the end.

Please note that the two monthly MeetUps are divided into one date for participants with little or no prior knowledge and one date for advanced participants who have already taken part in the MeetUp several times or are familiar with the equipment and software. The workshop is generally not suitable for children and young people under the age of 16.

The number of participants is limited. Please book your free ticket directly on the day of the event by 1:55 p.m. at the box office in the foyer.
