Discovering the MiY MakerSpace

Nestled in the heart of Fribourg, just a short stroll from the central train station, lies the MiY MakerSpace—a haven for creativity and innovation. As a museum curator with a penchant for interactive exhibits, I was immediately drawn to the idea of a space that encourages hands-on learning and creativity. The MiY MakerSpace is a collaborative technology hub that welcomes everyone from the age of five to ninety-five, making it an ideal destination for families seeking a unique and educational experience.

Upon entering the MakerSpace, I was struck by the vibrant atmosphere. The walls were adorned with colorful creations, and the air buzzed with the excitement of people engaged in various projects. It was clear that this was a place where imagination could run wild. My family and I were eager to dive into the T-Shirt Design Workshop, an activity that promised to unleash our creativity and leave us with a tangible memento of our visit.

Crafting Our Unique Designs

The workshop began with a warm welcome from the friendly staff, who guided us through the process of designing our own t-shirts using vinyl stickers. As someone who loves to blend education with entertainment, I appreciated the opportunity to learn about product design and the use of a vinyl cutter. The staff encouraged us to think in silhouettes and bring our ideas to life, whether they were inspired by historical landmarks or whimsical fantasies.

My children, ever the budding artists, were thrilled to create their own designs. They sketched out their ideas with enthusiasm, drawing inspiration from our travels across Europe. My wife and I joined in, each of us crafting a design that reflected our personal interests. The process was both educational and fun, allowing us to bond as a family while exploring our creative sides.

A Memorable Family Experience

As the workshop concluded, we proudly donned our personalized t-shirts, each one a unique reflection of our individual creativity. The experience was more than just a crafting session; it was a chance to connect with my family in a meaningful way, away from the usual hustle and bustle of daily life.

The MiY MakerSpace offers more than just a workshop; it provides a gateway to a world of creativity and innovation. For families traveling through Europe, it’s a must-visit destination that combines learning with fun. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a curious beginner, the T-Shirt Design Workshop is an experience that will leave you inspired and eager to explore more of what Fribourg has to offer.

In the end, our visit to the MiY MakerSpace was a delightful blend of creativity, education, and family bonding. It’s a place where imaginations soar, and memories are made—an experience I highly recommend to any family seeking a unique and enriching adventure.
