## Your Creative Workshop Team

<aside>

![Logo](/logo.png "Studio UMZU")

</aside>

We are Studio UMZU - 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.

### Aron

<aside>

![Aron](/images/colleagues/aron_petau.jpeg "Aron Petau")

</aside>

Aron has a background in Cognitive sciences, AI and Media Didactics. 
He loves tricky software problems and likes to think of plastics as a material for making beyond the printer.
Besides making Workshops with the [Junge Tüftler*innen, Berlin](https://junge-tueftler.de), Aron also has a few years of experience conceptualizing and outfitting making environments, for example with 
[InKüLe](https://inkuele.de), Innovationen für die künstlerische Lehre an der UdK, but also the [DigiLab](https://digitale-lehre.uni-osnabrueck.de/uos-digilab/) at the University of Osnabrück.
