Maker – Challenge

Maker – Challenge
Planned short-circuiting between companies and the maker scene – that is the Maker – Challenge!
Within the framework of this Maker Challenge, companies have the opportunity to solve their internal tasks together with a team of Makers. The company specifies the Challenge topic.
Over a six-month period (with 12 days of presence in your company) the task is solved with the help of new training methods. The results are presented at the Maker Faire® Klagenfurt and put to the test.
Advantages of the Maker Challenge for the participating companies:
-
specify the Challenge topics, which are then worked on by two Maker teams each,
-
provide the Maker Team with a mentor or trainer with expert knowledge,
- benefit from the creative approaches of the makers,
- receive valuable impulses for their innovations, products and services and
- expand their creative network and have the chance to secure young, innovative employees for their company.
