Your Creative Workshop Team
We are Aron Petau and Friedrich Weber Goizel — makers, educators, and passionate tinkerers from a lively makerspace in a Berlin secondary school.
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 flexible. We 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, and 3D design
- Flexible setup: using your equipment or bringing our own portable demos
- Experience with school groups, libraries, and public audiences
- Custom workshop concepts to match your goals and participants
Let’s turn your space into a hub of innovation and creativity.
You can book us for one-time events or ongoing programs.
