Are you interested in technology and science, do you want to implement things yourself and improve your community? Then the Makeathon is just right for you! Over the course of a weekend, you will have the chance to tinker with current challenges together with other young technology enthusiasts - from sustainable energy and battery technology to biosensor technology that can be used for wearables, for example.

What can you expect?
- Practice instead of theory: science is not just theory, but real applications. Get to know technical job profiles - from training to studying.
- Creative tinkering & development: Put your creative ideas into practice and find innovative solutions.
- Working in a team: Develop creative solutions for real challenges in the city of tomorrow through interdisciplinary teamwork.
- Insight into the future: Get to know companies like Bruker and exchange ideas with Bruker trainees and KIT students.
- Unique atmosphere: The Makeathon takes place in the Triangel Open Space in Karlsruhe. Here you can work, chill out and have a good time.
You will have the opportunity to use various sensors and actuators, 3D print or use a laser cutter - everything is available. No prior knowledge is required. Everyone, whether advanced or new to making, can take part. Through the exchange with experts and students, you will gain insights into current technological developments and possible career paths.
The Makeathon is part of KIT's Science Week and will take place in October 2025. If you are in the 8th to 10th grade and want to try out new things, then join us!
The Makeathon is organized by the KIT Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology and the Digital Learning Lab at ZML and is made possible by the generous support of Bruker, who not only act as a sponsor, but are also actively involved.
