TU Delft Campus Makerzone
The Makerzone is a 250 m2 maker space where student entrepreneurs, startups and businesses can bring their ideas to life. The Makerzone offers a broad range of advanced equipment and is accessible with a monthly membership that includes access to all resources. We offer technical advice and the opportunity to create and develop prototypes quickly. We host shared workshops and classes to help you to get started with your ideas. The Makerzone, located in YES!Delft, is accessible for Delft start-ups to work on their prototypes or ideas.
