Maker Space @ Ecsite: The "dream image" shows how organizers Jochen Hunger, Jean-Michel Molenaar and Karolina Perrin see the new format.

The Red Room at the center will not only be the location of the initial session on Thursday, 6th of June (entitled, 'Making, fabbing, tinkering: New approaches to learning by doing'), but also the place for getting in touch with tools and materials like 3D printers, laser cutters, soldering irons and electronic components. "We intend to stimulate a vivid debate on the role and use of making in museums, schools and local communities, explains Jochen Hunger, and the Red Room will also be an anchor point for sharing experiences and getting inspired".
