We are organising workshops that can be divided in 2 Steps.

During Step 1, the following topics are covered:

Introduction to “Processing” Programming
Introduction to 3D Modeling and 3D Printing
Introduction to music instrument building

During Step 2, the following topics are covered:

Introduction to CNC milling
Introduction to Arduino
Introduction to Raspberry Pi

Sessions are held on Saturdays or Sundays. Please check out the calendar for the exact dates of the specific workshops.

The Workshops take place on the FSG Houseboat, next to the Schute on the Veringkanal.

As a cooperation partner, HoFaLab is supported by the FSG (Freie Schule für Gestaltung), which is kindly offering space for the Workshops
