's Future Skills: A Hands-On Experience
Fab City formats can be easily integrated into your daily educational routine so that you can put them into practice and fit them into your existing workflows:
whether it's an introductory workshop
Project Weeks
or a long-term learning program
Fab City Hamburg helps participants find suitable partners within the network, raise awareness of their offerings, and facilitate collaborations—so that maker education doesn’t end with a one-time event, but instead has a lasting impact.
Typical applications:
- Project-Based Learning & Project Days
- e.g., prototyping, sustainability projects, technology & design
- Extracurricular Clubs and Elective Courses
- 3D printing, coding, electronics, or textile technology
- Career Guidance & Future Careers
- From Tinkering to Real Prospects

The Future Is Taking Shape Here
Maker Spaces
as Learning Environments
Because theory immediately becomes practical here. Anyone who designs a 3D print understands geometry and planning. Anyone who builds a circuit understands electrical circuits and logic. And anyone who repairs a broken object learns something very forward-thinking along the way: conserving resources, valuing things, and closing loops. It is precisely this combination of digital literacy and sustainable action that makes Maker Education so powerful—including in the context of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).
Education for Urban Society
We need
well-educated
Fab Citizens
To turn our vision of Fab City 2054 into reality, we need a well-educated urban community—the Fab Citizens.
With our growing network of maker spaces in the Hamburg metropolitan area, we are creating extracurricular learning and gathering spaces where ideas are born, knowledge is shared, and solutions are tested.
In the spirit of lifelong learning, we combine hands-on learning with the development of future-oriented skills in all areas of education.
Based on the Fab City Manifesto, we put Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into practice: Learners engage with real-world challenges and develop action-oriented solutions. The circular economy is a guiding principle of our programs—from repairing and reusing to circular design and the mindful use of resources and materials.
