We offer workshops, events and creative partnerships, for individuals, companies and institutions. The goal for all our partnerships is an impact on as diverse audiences as possible.
Media art production and community art projects
Mehackit enables the Mehackit media art collective's own artistic work by providing workspaces, materials and opportunities for artistic work. Mehackit also helps artists with media art production and acts as a partner in events and community art projects.
Mehackit Maker Kit
We needed the most fun, affordable and accessible components to support our Electronics and Programming track, so we decided to create the Arduino-based Mehackit Maker Kit.
I was pleasantly surprised at how versatile the course dealt with creativity. I succeeded, even though I set off from almost zero :)
