Credited

Projects which are part of an EPFL course and allow students to learn how to build rapid prototypes.<br> <br> <a href="/credited">More info</a>

Interdisciplinary

Projects involving 15 to 200 students per team with students from different sections. These projects last 40 to 50 weeks and simulate a professional environement. <br> <br> <a href="/interdisciplinary">More info</a>

Innovation

Projects supported by the school through official programs for student entrepreneurship or successful companies born from MAKE projects.<br> <br> <a href="/entrepreneurial">More info</a>

Associative

These projects are related to the activity of an EPFL recognized studen association. They are involving prototyping activities. <br> <br> <a href="/associative">More info</a>

Embryo

The embryo category supports small groups of students (5-10) with an idea. <br> <br> The embryo phase allows the team to rapid prototype and build a network of relevant stakeholders. <br> <br>Maximum 5 projects are supported by academic year.

Outreach

The MAKE program supports a wide variety of outreach activities at EPFL. Making the science is great, but disseminating it to society is important as well.
