Realizing Creative Teaching Ideas with the Laser Cutter
On November 10, 2026, KOMEZ – Municipal Media Center Cologne invites teachers and educational staff at Cologne schools to a free online event focused on creative projects with the laser cutter. From 2:30 PM to 4 PM, participants will gain practical insights into digital manufacturing and the possibilities of customizing materials for teaching.
Digital Ideas Become Tangible
A laser cutter opens up various ways to precisely cut and engrave teaching materials, name tags, labels, decorations, or stamps. The event demonstrates how a first idea can evolve into a concrete project for the classroom or working with students.
Practical Knowledge for Schools and Educational Work
The focus is on the device's functionality as well as important steps in preparing and implementing one's own projects. The event is aimed at beginners, and prior knowledge is not required. Thus, the digital format connects professional orientation with creative teaching development and modern media education.
Online Participation with Interactive Options
The event will take place via BigBlueButton. Participation is possible either actively or without video and sound. Questions and comments can be raised personally or through the chat function. Registered participants will receive the access link after registration.
What Is Needed for Participation
Anyone wishing to work creatively during the session will need their own Canva account and the installation of Affinity by Canva. Canva Education is available for teachers free of charge, but verification is required. Affinity by Canva is currently available for computers.

The event is part of the DMP Online series. DMP stands for Digital Making Places, a funding program from the Ministry of School and Education of North Rhine-Westphalia. KOMEZ Cologne utilizes the technology provided within the program to facilitate schools' access to creative applications and modern makerspace offerings.
