Creativity & High-Tech on the Trave
Lübeck's Festival for Makers, DIY and Creative Enthusiasts.
Come to the Musik- und Kongresshalle Lübeck (MuK) to touch, try out, fail, and create anew.
July 10 & 11, 2027
Sat. 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM & Sun. 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Our Vision & Mission
A collaborative project for Schleswig-Holstein's educational landscape
Craft Meets High-Tech
We bridge the gap between traditional handiwork (sawing, filing, soldering) and digitization (3D printing, laser cutting, microcontrollers).
Low-Threshold & Free STEM Education
Thanks to regional foundations, all workshop offers are completely free of charge.
Fostering the "4Cs" Skills
We playfully train Creativity, Critical thinking, Collaboration, and Communication through open challenges.
Trial & Error and Self-Efficacy
Trying, failing, and adapting shows: "I can shape and repair my environment myself, instead of just consuming."
Maker Faire Lübeck 2027 is a non-profit, volunteer-organized educational and creative festival for science, technology, art, and DIY culture. Initiated by FabLab Lübeck e.V., we do not pursue any commercial interests.
A Strong Regional Network
The festival is a true collaborative network. We work closely with local actors such as the Junior Campus Lübeck and the Digital Learning Campus SH (DLC).
Official Licensor & Media Partner
Maker Faire Lübeck 2027 is an independently organized event conducted under official license from Make: Magazine (Heise Medien GmbH & Co. KG / Make: Community LLC) by FabLab Lübeck e.V.
Hands-on Workshops & Stamp Card
Gamification for young explorers on the 2nd floor of the MuK
The Hands-on Stamp Card
Every child receives a stamp card with 8 slots upon entry. After successfully participating in a workshop, the workshop instructor stamps the field. With just 3 completed workshops (e.g. 1x technology, 1x textile, 1x ecology), the card can be exchanged at the central FabLab booth in the rotunda for a small, reward made live on site (e.g. a laser-engraved wooden badge "Junior Maker 2027" with their own name)!
Electronics & Soldering
Organized by: Chaotikum
The absolute classic. Children and teens solder their first electronic circuits under patient guidance (a night light will be soldered).
Technology7 further workshops planned
We are currently preparing 7 additional free hands-on workshops (covering coding, textile crafts, 3D printing, and ecology, among others). Detailed info will follow shortly!
