Innovation smithy in Bendorf: Minister visits new Makerspace!

Today, Minister of Environment and Climate Protection Katrin Eder visited Makerspace in Bendorf, an innovative pilot project in the Mayen-Koblenz district. She was accompanied by Thomas Hildner, the district board of the Greens, and Klaus Meurer, the Grünen parliamentary group leader in the district council. The maker space extends over an area of ​​300 square meters and offers a variety of manual and modern technical devices, including laser cutter, 3D printer as well as milling and cutting machines. This equipment is particularly aimed at school classes and interested parties who are enthusiastic about MINT professions.

Minister Eder emphasized the immense importance of such innovative places for the sustainable development and the practical implementation of knowledge. She emphasized that the Makerspace in Bendorf is not only a learning environment, but also serves as a platform for creative work and interdisciplinary cooperation. Thomas Hildner found that the Makerspace is a platform for creative minds that want to develop new ideas. Klaus Meurer described the project as a "lighthouse project" and announced another location in Mayen to further underline the importance of such initiatives.

non -profit and transparency

The Makerspace pursues a non -profit concept based on honesty and transparency. According to those responsible, the social mandate is communicated openly and transparently. The structure of the Makerspace promotes openness and participation, whereby the needs and wishes of the participants are always the focus. The funds invested in the room can be doubled by a volunteer approach, which contributes to the creation of a lively and dynamic environment.

The goal of the Makerspaces is to bring different people together with different skills. This networking should not only promote creativity, but also help to ensure that new ideas and projects are created that advance social progress.

sustainability at the center of

A central aspect of working in the maker space is sustainable business. Those responsible ask the question of whether products are necessary before they are manufactured. It is about using, converting or repairing existing materials instead of creating new products. This requires a careful analysis of the materials and procedures used. For example, the need for a laser cutter is critically questioned compared to scissors.

The considerations for resource conservation and high -quality use of materials when building prototypes reflect the commitment of the MakerSpac for a sustainable future. These approaches show that the combination of technological progress and environmentally conscious planning is the key to sustainable development.

The visit of Minister Eder in Makerspace underlines the role of such innovation centers in Rhineland-Palatinate, not only for technological education, but also for economic development in the region. The discussion about future prospects and funding opportunities during the tour illustrates that the Makerspace makes an important contribution to the design of a sustainable and innovative society.
