What to expect at Maker Faire Luxembourg 2026 Two days of making, experimenting, discovering – and plenty of things you probably didn’t expect.
Manches funktioniert analog besser als digital. Mit Apps geht alles schneller, aber wir sind ja keine Automaten. Begreifen erfordert Haptik, denn taktile Erfahrungen werden tiefer und nachhaltiger verarbeitet! Rollgut ist ein Notizbuch für den Prozess. Es kombiniert geklemmtes Papier und Schreibgeräte in einer kompakten Rolle, die immer dabei ist. Als Ergänzung zu unseren digitalen Begleitern füllt Rollgut eine Lücke, die mit der raschen Digitalisierung entstanden ist. Gerade bei kurzlebigen, unvollständigen Ideen und Gedanken zeigen analoge Arbeitsmittel ihre starke Seite, denn sie sind unerreicht simpel, schnell und intuitiv für jede Kultur und Altersklasse anwendbar.
NFC_temp is a passive open-source NFC thermometer based on an ATtiny microcontroller, a TMP117 temperature sensor, and the NXP ntag NFC IC. The device harvests part of the NFC field from a generic NFC reader for power and enables temperature measurements with up to 0.1 °C accuracy. The result is output by the NXP ntag as an URL and can be read using any smartphone. With a size of only 35 mm × 18 mm, the system design enables maintenance-free, location-independent, and accurate temperature measurements on your keychain without a dedicated battery. The entire hardware was created using freely available software (KiCAD, FreeCAD). Come to the booth for a live demo!
CreatorZone the Makerspace @ Bouneweger Lycée is showing interesting projects in 3d print, electronics and coding.
Every year, the nonprofit organization MAKE IT organizes the national LYRC (Luxembourg Youth Robotics Challenge) competition, which selects the national teams that represent Luxembourg at the VEX and FIRST global robotics competitions. This year, the Luxembourg team selected for the FIRST world competition—a team from the MS20 makerspace at the Lycée VAUBAN in Luxembourg—finished as world runner-up for the first time ever, thanks to its alliance ! Come discover this incredible achievement, made possible this year in Seoul, South Korea, thanks to MAKE IT !
Meshcore is an off-grid mesh networking technology based on the LoRa protocol. Used for quick and independent communication, the luxemburgish network is growing. As it is licence-free, everyone can take part and be part of the network. With the help of many users, this decentralized network grows and the Meshcore protocol makes it self-healing. Discover this exciting project and how you can get part of it. As an amateur radio association, we use a lot of other technologies for communication besides the publicly available Meshcore network. Visit our booth and get more information on ham radio networks.
At our booth, you will be able to practice true craftmenship... join in for a small introduction and hands-on experience!
We would like to introduce the hobby of amateur radio.If possible, visitors can make a radio contact themselves or solder together an FM radio.We can apply a special Call LX26MFL .
Meet our ambassador Alice Gielen! She is a Japanese-European textile designer and engineer based in Sweden. Alice builds her own machines when the ones she needs don't exist, like a code-driven 3D jacquard loom and a fiber-dyeing printer. She exhibited at Maker Faire Luxembourg in 2024 and is back this year to inspire the next wave of makers.
Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for these "makers" to show hobbies, experiments, projects.
We call it the Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth - a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness.
Glimpse the future and get inspired!
