What to expect at Maker Faire Luxembourg 2026 Two days of making, experimenting, discovering – and plenty of things you probably didn’t expect.
Featured Makers 2026
Ponytrap
Ponytrap is a band, a robotics-tech presentation, and a hands-on interactive installation all in one! Ponytrap plays industrial music on classical instruments with gigantic robotic percussion. MAX is a massive robotic drum monster that can rise to almost 5 meters in height, runs on 4 car batteries, and reads music. Ponytrap's newest member NOVA, is a roving robotic DJ that can mix any audio you can imagine into a symphony of sound. Together with creator Quentin Thomas-Oliver, MAX and NOVA have been traveling the world entertaining audiences from San Francisco to Prague!
Important Office Gadgets And Weird Stuff
This year, I’m bringing a collection of office gadgets designed for mental wellbeing and 'nerd-life' balance. Highlights include the T.A.S.C. (Take a Sip Coaster) and my 90-minute 'Caffeine-Level' Timer, both built to ensure you never miss a break or to drink. There’s also a stress-relieving Alien Buddha and a 20cm construction crane specifically engineered for the crucial task of removing tea bags (both currently a work in progress!). My binary wristwatch, now with a new case, and if all goes well, a second 80s, inspired sci-fi wristwatch. I’ll also be bringing along a cute little chatbot for LLM's and a retro fresnel-TV. I reckon there’ll be a few more useful and pointless bits and bobs added by then :)
Self eSTEAM Challenge ’26
Build. Experiment. Try again. Surprise yourself. The Self eSTEAM Challenge is back for its fourth edition! After robots, marble runs and boats in previous years, a brand-new challenge is waiting for you at Maker Faire Luxembourg 2026. What will you have to build this time? We’re not telling you yet. Come to the Self eSTEAM area, pick up your challenge kit and start making. You’ll have materials, tools and plenty of room for your own ideas. There is no single right solution – experiment, improvise, change your approach and see what you can create. Whether your solution is big, tiny, colourful, clever, sustainable, wonderfully simple or completely unexpected, it might even win you a prize. For everyone aged 6–24. No previous experience needed. Just bring your curiosity.
NFC_temp - passive thermometer for your keychain
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!
Maker's Labs
Maker’s Labs is a Luxembourg-based nonprofit inspiring young makers through hands-on learning in 3D printing, electronics, robotics, and AI. At our booth, visitors can explore a variety of projects built by our community, including custom 3D-printed creations, electronic prototypes, and interactive maker projects. We will also showcase upcoming developments such as an AI-powered desk robot and a DIY drone platform. Our goal is to spark curiosity, creativity, and innovation by demonstrating how accessible modern technologies can be for learners, hobbyists, and future inventors of all ages.

Hier kann man eigene Fotos mit dem Sympathieträger aus fernen Welten machen. Anfassen und Spaß haben ist ausdrücklich erwünscht, lachende Kinderaugen garantiert. Ebenso zur Vorstellung des Clubs gehört auch die Darstellung unterschiedlicher Fertigungsmethoden. Fragen zu den Themen werden auf dem Stand gerne beantwortet.
