A house for small and big ideas

The Student Project House gives an opportunity for students at ETH to think outside of their curriculum and set path. Here you learn how to identify an actual need, design solutions and test your hypothesis with real prototypes. We are convinced that combining the knowledge gained in your studies with the freedom to tinker and the understanding of the bigger picture can lead you to great innovations. We support students that want to bring their own ideas further in a student team.

Easter 2019: The Student Project House is closed on friday 19.4 and monday 22.4.

OnBoard

Projects

OnBoard

OnBoard is an online platform where community members learn with each other. While various studies have shown formative assessment and immediate feedback play a key role in learning, it remains challenging to make the students' learning experience individualized. OnBoard combines the good sides of traditional classrooms and massive open online courses.

Nao

Projects

Nao

We are three students with a passion for sports and nature (ETH, UZH & HSG). During one of our training sessions, we had the idea of combining natural energy with great taste and a lifestyle product. Our vision was to use the energy of nature to help people achieve more. We didn't need artificial ingredients to develop our Nao drinks. Nature inspired us.

Chaze

Projects

Chaze

Swimming is one of the technically most demanding sports. In order to effectively convert power into speed, many factors must work together in perfect harmony. And despite how many people do swimming as a sport, good feedback is difficult to find and doesn’t come cheap: Currently, swimmers have the option to either join a club or get private lessons. Both options are costly and don’t fit every swimmer’s desire for flexibility and independence.
