## Your Creative Workshop Team

We are Aron Petau and Friedrich Weber Goizel — makers, educators, and passionate tinkerers conceptualizing and making workshops for a living in Berlin. 

We bring the world of making to libraries, schools, and youth centers, offering hands-on workshops designed to spark creativity, curiosity, and technical skill.

Whether you already have a makerspace with 3D printers, laser cutters, or plotters, or you’re just starting out — we are adapting. 
We can offer both portable showcases and introductory sessions as well as deep-dive workshops that build on your existing equipment. 
We tailor every workshop to your needs, audience, and space.

- Workshops in 3D printing, laser cutting, plotting, robotics, and 3D design  
- Flexible delivery: on your equipment or with our portable demo setups
- Experience with school groups, libraries, and public audiences  
- Custom workshop concepts to match your goals and participants
- We even help design, curate, and build out new maker spaces!

Let’s co-create a space where craft meets code, analog meets digital, and ideas come alive.
We’d love to help turn your place into a hub of creativity and learning. 
You can contact us for one-time events or ongoing programs.
