Discovery day

Your first day at the workbench.

A day to discover the craft through hands-on work at the bench. With Alexandra, you observe a component, establish your hand support and try hand tools and a micromotor. You discover how light helps you understand the results of your first movements.

No technical experience needed. Alexandra will discuss a suitable date with you.
