5x Things to do at Maker Days Eindhoven

Roll up your sleeves! On Saturday, 12, and Sunday, 13 September, Eindhoven will once again be the site of the Maker Days Eindhoven. Leaning back is not an option: participate and make your own creations. Fun for young and old! We'll give you a sneak preview with five highlights you don't want to miss!

Maker Future Parade

Everything that makes Maker Days Eindhoven special comes together in the Maker Parade. From extraordinary creations showcasing the limits of technology and futuristic fantasy vehicles to extravagant cosplayers pulling out all the stops, you won’t miss a moment of this spectacle. This parade will wind its way through Ketelhuisplein on Strijp-S, both Saturday and Sunday, starting at 13:00.

Build your own marble run

Everyone's played with marbles at some point. But what if you get to design your own piece of a marble run? At Maker Days, you become your own marble run architect: combine paper parts to create your own track, which will then join the tracks of other builders to form one giant marble run. No special tools or expensive parts needed, just cut, paste, and build. And best of all: you get to take your design home with you afterward.

Building robot animals

You might already know NEO: the robot dog from the Next Nature Museum. NEO doesn't have fur like your own dog, but its way of walking might just fool you. During Maker Days, the designers from Stichting Leaphy show you how to build robot animals that mimic the behavior of real animals.

Play With AI

A tech festival without artificial intelligence is like Paris without the Eiffel Tower - it doesn't make sense! At Totem Game Dev's workshops, young creators dive into the world of facial recognition. By training an AI system themselves, they get a firsthand look at the promises - and the pitfalls - of this powerful technology.

Maker Night

You know what? Let’s add an extra evening! On Friday, September 11, everything tech-related, from music to gaming, comes to life during the Maker Night. You know Night at the Museum? Well, it's something like that but with a tech twist at LAB-1 in Eindhoven.
