Project directory

Here under, you will find a directory of all projects benefiting from the support of the MAKE initiative and the EPFL prototyping network. Among the categories of projects you will find:

  • MAKE interdisciplinary projects: these projects are involving 15 to 200 students per team and are involving students from different sections
  • MAKE for credits: these projects are part of an EPFL course and allow students to learn how to build rapid prototypes
  • MAKE for innovation: these projects are supported by the school through official programs. For example the start-up launch pad supporting student entrepreneurship (vice-presidency for innovation) or student projects related to sustainability (vice-presidency of responsible transformation)
  • MAKE for your association: these projects are related to the activity of an EPFL recognized student association. They are involving prototyping activities.
