MakerCamp
Jan 2026 - MIT Research At Scale
During the yearly Research At Scale program, Seeed Studio hosted 10 MIT researchers in its MakerCamp, to co-create meaningful and open hardware projects in Shenzhen, explore the tech ecosystem frontier, and join maker networks to experiment with the local scaling power.
The research residency started with the Scalable HCI Symposium, a 1-week accelerated introduction of the Shenzhen ecosystem, organized in collaboration with SUSTech and AIRS.
