The Making of studio einszwovier

August 2024

We started constructing and planning the layout and equipment for the room. We had the chance to build the wooden workbench ourselves, making it our own.

December 2024 – A Space for Ideas Becomes Reality

After months of planning, organizing, and anticipation, it finally happened in December 2024: our Maker Space “studio einszwovier” officially opened its doors. In the midst of everyday school life, an innovative learning environment came to life—one that combines creativity, technology, and educational equity.

From Concept to Reality

The idea was clear: a space where “making” becomes tangible—through self-directed and playful work with analog and digital tools. Learners should be able to shape their learning process, discover their individual strengths, and experience the empowering motivation of doing things themselves.

To support that, the room was equipped with state-of-the-art tools: 3D printers, laser cutters, microcontrollers, and equipment for woodworking and textile printing enable hands-on, project-based learning.

A Place for Free and Explorative Learning

Led by Aron and Friedrich — both graduate students in Design + Computation in Berlin—the “studio einszwovier” provides access to tools, materials, and knowledge. It’s a place for open-ended, explorative learning that emphasizes not just digital technologies, but also creativity, problem-solving, and initiative. The students are invited to join both courses with a predefined focus and open "tüftling".

Open Doors for Creative Minds

“studio einszwovier” is open Tuesdays to Thursdays from 11:00 AM to :00 PM. A dedicated open lab time is available Wednesdays from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM. Everyone is welcome to drop in, share ideas, and get started.

A Space for the Future

With studio einszwovier, we’ve created a space where learning through hands-on experience takes center stage—promoting both practical and digital skills for the future. It’s a place where ideas become tangible outcomes and where the learning culture of our school grows in a lasting and meaningful way.
