Luxembourg (Europe)

Robotic security guards, robotic restaurants and military robots--the potential for robotic technology is vast but has yet to take hold in Luxembourg. Cue Luxembourg’s first robotics makerspace scheduled to open on Saturday in Esch.

Today there are 32 makerspaces, involving around 200 teachers and attracting up to 3,000 students.

Among the projects developed in these hubs of activity, Teusch cites a remote-controlled hover board built out of a skateboard and wii controller. Another group worked on a cyclist’s coat with electronics sewn into the fabric to provide indicator lights for maximum visibility when turning. “The target is to make them aware that technology is worth taking a look at. It can be cool. You don’t have to be top at maths to be great at engineering,” Teusch says.

The initiative continues to grow
Teusch is one of four people who co-founded Make It, a not for profit which runs the annual Maker Faire, and the national robotics championships (both scheduled this year for 16-17 May in Rosport) and selects and trains a national team to compete in the robotics championships in Dubai.

We're looking for you!

Starting on February 19, make it will look for a FIRST Global Team Luxembourg to compete in the FIRST Global Robotics Challenge in summer 2019. 

We are looking for young talents aged between 14 and 18 years, who are ready to work as a team together with a mentor (preferably with 5 years+ job experience in science/tech). Your team can hold between 2 and up to 6 members plus one mentor. The challenge is to build a robot from a furnished kit and have it perform a certain task/challenge (to be announced after teams are registered).
There’s no need to have any pre-skills, only interest in tech and problem solving should be present.
