Programme description:
Open hardware — build it, change it, share it.

While many students are familiar with open-source software, fewer know about the growing movement to make hardware design and development open to everyone. Open hardware empowers users to become creators.

In this newly designed course, guided by engineers from TU Berlin, TU Delft and UPV, students will develop their own open-hardware projects and bring their ideas to life during a five-day hands-on stay at TU Berlin.

👉 Seats are limited – apply by 28 February 2026 and become part of the open-hardware movement!
