The Project 3D Printer Kit aims to provide Makerspace users with an instruction manual for constructing a 3D printer using materials available at SPH Makerspace. The manual will detail the specific SPH machines and tools required for the assembly. Additionally, it will guide users on how to acquire components not stocked in the Makerspace shop, such as extruders and electronic boards. This project aims to offer ETH students a platform for learning about and delving into 3D printer design....

Software Engineering
We’re Lucie and Blanche, fascinated by the complexity of nature and driven to explore how interdisciplinary science can decode biology and inspire new ways of thinking. We met at EPFL, collaborating on coding projects and a startup, and discovered the thrill of building ambitious ideas together. At Harvard and MIT, we developed our first polymath project on aging and biological relativity, and back in Europe we founded Bloom Lab, reimagining how science can be done. So far, we’ve launched our social media presence on X and Instagram, published our first blog post on Substack, and planned a 3-day research hackathon at the SPH. Our main goal is to build a strong community of polymaths, empowering curiosity through events that bring together professors, industry leaders, and students from different fields to think deeply about life’s most important questions....

Software Engineering
Engineers for Science is an initiative around promoting software engineering best practices in research. We believe that great science requires great software. Unfortunately, many researchers struggle to write effective code, leading to poor software quality, slowing down scientific progress. That's where we come in. We connect researchers with experienced software engineers from the industry who can provide valuable feedback and guidance on best practices for software development. You can learn about some of these principles in our blog. By partnering with Engineers for Science, researchers can ensure that their software is a robust tool for their research and not a hindrance, enabling them to focus on their scientific discoveries. But it's not just about helping researchers. Our initiative also benefits software engineers who are looking to gain experience in mentorship and leadership. By working with researchers, the engineers can gain valuable insights into the latest scientific discoveries and can apply their skills in new and exciting ways. Join Engineers for Science today and help us bridge the gap between science and software engineering. Together, we can create better software and drive scientific progress forward....

Orbiit is a compatibility-based matchmaking platform for both friends and partners. Users create a profile and complete a survey focused on values, communication style, needs, and goals. Instead of offering endless options, we provide curated matches designed for genuine alignment. When both people agree, we coordinate the logistics to help them meet in real life. Orbiit was created in response to growing swipe fatigue and superficial digital interactions. We noticed that many platforms optimize for engagement rather than real compatibility. Orbiit was built to shift the focus back to quality, clarity, and meaningful in-person connection. We’ve launched our first in-person matchmaking events and attracted over 100+ early users through word-of-mouth and campus outreach. Our main goal is to develop a research-backed dating app that offers compatibility-based matching and real-world meetups, creating a more intentional and emotionally intelligent way to date. The project started after a breakup, when one of the co-founders began dating again and realised the dating world felt disconnected and surface-level. She shared her experience with her best friend and now co-founder, and together they decided to create a platform that could offer something better. Fly into Orbiit with us....
