Digital Makerspace Intern:


60%-100%, Zurich, fixed-term:

At the ETH Student Project House (SPH) we inspire and empower students to cultivate a maker and innovator mindset.

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) are encouraged to ideate, build prototypes, test and refine them.


Our interdisciplinary team of thirty people support students with the tools and know-how to explore their passion and create their project.

We have a greatly equipped Makerspace that gives students access to the tools and equipment they need to prototype. To take projects to the next level we have a co-working, ideation, and event space and offer coaching.

In order to empower ETH students with their digital project we are now additionally building a Digital Makerspace.

To help us provide hardware and software tools, digital know-how and create a community of digital innovators, we are now looking for a Digital Makerspace Intern.
