Engineering Co-Space Lab

Hands-on, do-it-yourself research 

Electronics and microelectronics, 3D printing, educational robotics and programming: current research topics made accessible to the general public

Current research topics in electronics and microelectronics, 3D printing, educational robotics and programming are made accessible to the general public. 

The Engineering Co-Space Lab opens its doors at specific times throughout the year to facilitate collaborative and creative activities involving various electronic and digital materials. These materials range from flexible sensors to physical computing tools and digital manufacturing machines that are quick and safe to use. Main activities include workshops for primary and secondary school students, summer learning camps, and training courses for teaching staff. The Engineering Co-Space Lab can accommodate up to 24 people. Its modular design allows it to be easily adapted to various formats and purposes. 

Depending on the topic, adequate and safe tools of varying complexity are used, such as flexible sensors and programmable boards like Arduino and Raspberry Pi Pico for secondary school students, and micro:bit for primary and middle school students. There are also easy-to-use 3D printers and educational robotics kits for different age groups.
