The Great Makers Challenge Hackathon

The Maker Challenge, with ambassador Lieven Scheire, invites makers to unleash their creativity and skills to come up with the year’s most innovative solutions!

by De Creatieve STEM

Makers, get ready! We need your talents to design an innovative workspace that allows easy transitions between sitting, standing, and walking.

Active Solutions for a Healthier Workspace

Sitting is the new smoking: prolonged sitting increases the risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer. On average, people spend 77% of their day seated at work, often for more than eight hours.

The goal is a space-efficient, budget-friendly design that can be made accessible through fablab techniques like 3D printing and laser cutting. This solution should be open-source and adaptable, allowing users to customize it to their needs.

The open call runs from September 2024 to March 2025, with a try-out at the Mutation Festival in November.
