Makerspace
Develop your creative side at Gellért Campus!
The Corvinus Gellért Campus has a special place, Makerspace, where you can create something with your own two hands in workshops. These sessions will help reduce stress and increase your creativity, while introducing you to a range of techniques you may not have known before.
The Corvinus Makerspace is a community space that brings manufacturing technologies and innovation closer to people through organised sessions and inspiring sample projects. A friendly and inclusive environment where you can create your own projects. You do not need to bring any equipment to most of the sessions, and you do not need any preliminary knowledge.
You can choose from 16 sessions
3D modelling
The exercises will help you to learn the basics of using the Shapr3D modelling application.
Graphic design
The exercises will help you learn the basics of using the Canva and Procreate applications.
Fashion
The workshop is intended to teach the basics of sewing to participants, so that you can repair your own clothes in the future. Simple but stylish sample projects are completed using manual and machine sewing.
Japanese bookbinding
You can make a calendar or a notepad using the binding papers and threads selected by you. At the end of the process, you can personalise your creation with UV printing.
Linocut
You can learn the basics of lino printing. The motifs of your choice will be UV printed on the linoleum, and then you can process it manually. At the end of the process, you can create your own artistic prints.
Embroidery
You can learn the basics of hand embroidery. The motifs of your choice will be UV printed on the textile, and then you can manually embroider it.
Calligraphy
You'll learn the basics of calligraphy techniques, starting with your initials and then writing a word selected by you and related to the University in artistic way.
Paper craft
You can use manual processing (cutting, folding, gluing) to create decorative and cute paper objects.
Merch
You can create your own university merch package (badge, notepad, T-shirt, totebag) using manual techniques and digital tools.
Electrical installation works
Introduction to the basics of electrical installation works. You can learn how to tell if current is flowing through a system. In the installation activities, you can learn how to the use basic tools (pliers, wire strippers, wire-end sleeves), and then you can assemble a lamp on a test bench.
Wearable intelligence
The completion of the tasks will give you a basic introduction to micro:bit microcontroller programming; the Shapr3D modelling software will allow you to modify the model of the housing of an appliance, and then produce it using 3D printing and laser cutting. At the end of the workshop, you will receive a small wearable device for an interaction designed by you. The device can be reprogrammed.
Visual creations with AI
You can learn conscious Midjourney prompt editing and design your own artworks for digital printing using AI.
IKEA furniture hack
You will learn how to use the foil cutter and 3D printer through open source projects, and then get a basic understanding of the Shapr3D modelling application through example projects. By the end of the workshop, you can redesign a finished project related to your chosen IKEA object and create it by 3D printing or foil cutting. Participation is subject to attending two threshold user journeys (3D modelling; graphic design).
Independently designed 3D printed object
You can learn how to use a 3D printer, and then get a basic understanding of the target-oriented use of the Shapr3D modelling application, through sample exercises. During the workshop, you will independently design a vase form, and we will produce it with a 3D printer.
Spatial data visualisation
During the workshop we will create spatial diagrams and graphs using 3D printing, laser cutting and UV printing. We learn the basics of graphic design and 3D modelling.
Porcelain 3D printing
You can learn how to use a porcelain 3D printer, by printing small objects. You can further improve your modelling skills and, with mentoring, you will have the opportunity to print your own objects during opening hours.
