Workshops
During Maker Faire Vienna workshops about various topics will take place. Participants will be registered directly at the event by the workshop hosts - there is no pre-registration possible!
Please note: There is limited space for all workshops, therefore participants will be registered by the “firste come, first served” principle. Some workshop hosts ask for a contribution towards expenses (for materials etc.) that can only be on site.
