Join Our Team at ETH Student Project House

At the ETH Student Project House (SPH), we inspire and empower students to cultivate a maker-innovator mindset. By exploring their ideas and developing personal projects, students gain valuable hands-on experience and learn essential skills for their future. Our ecosystem encourages Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral students to ideate, build prototypes, and continuously test and refine their creations.

About Us

Our interdisciplinary team of 30 professionals supports students by providing the tools, knowledge, and guidance necessary to pursue their passions. Our well-equipped Makerspace offers access to a wide range of tools and equipment for prototyping. To help projects grow beyond the idea stage, we also offer co-working, ideation, and event spaces, along with personalized coaching.

Many of our offerings are entirely digital, and we are dedicated to developing various digital solutions to facilitate this space, including integrations of different software services and deployments in the cloud or on our own servers.
