Makerspace Internship

at  ETH Zrich

80%-100%, ZURICH, FIXED-TERM

At the ETH Student Project House (SPH) we inspire and empower students to cultivate a mindset of makers and innovators. We believe that by exploring their ideas and developing their own projects, students gain valuable hands-on experience and learn important skills for their future. This is why we’ve created an ecosystem where students (Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral students) are encouraged to ideate, build prototypes, test and refine them.
Our interdisciplinary team of seventeen people provides students that want to pursue extracurricular projects of various types and scales with a comprehensive range of support. On the one hand, we have co-working, ideation, and event space and offer coaching. On the other hand we have a greatly equipped Makerspace that gives students access to the tools and equipment they need to prototype.
As our projects are building more and more prototypes, we’re now looking for an intern in the Makerspace. Read on to see if that might be you!

• Machines. You’ll learn to operate, adapt and fix various tools and machinery from 3D ers, 3D scanners, laser cutters to hand tools including their related softwares.
• Make. You’ll support us to make and build the infrastructure we need to adapt our space.
• Coaching. You’ll support early-stage projects with your technical expertise during their prototyping and ensure the safety with the equipment whilst doing so.
