Makerspace seminar: How EPFL is integrating makerspaces into education

We are welcoming Pierre Dillenbourg and Pascal Vuilliomenet from EPFL (epfl.ch)  who will talk about how they have developed and integrated makerspaces into its campus and curriculum through the MAKE network (epfl.ch) .

KTH's president Anders Söderholm will inaugurate the seminar series and talk about the importance of makerspaces for the future of engineering education at KTH.

The seminar will explore the pedagogical vision for EPFL and how this drove the development and design of the MAKE network, and specifically the SPOT makerspace (epfl.ch) . You will hear about how they have transformed their courses to incorporate making and project-based learning, how they utilize the MAKE network, and what impacts this has had on their students' learning.

At the end, we will leave time for questions and discussion.

Register to attend – this seminar is open to all teachers at KTH.
You can join in person at F3 (Flodis), Lindstedtsvägen 26 (KTH Places)  or by Zoom (link will be sent out to all who have registered).

Welcome to a series of seminars during the autumn of 2026 and the spring of 2027, which will explore how experimental learning, makerspaces, AI and pedagogical development can contribute to the engineering education of the future.

This series of seminars is organised by KTH’s change programme Future Education at KTH  in collaboration with Digital Futures .
