About us

Tic Tac Lab is a creative technology education centre based in Brussels, offering hands-on workshops, courses, and events for young people—and occasionally adults. Blending DIY culture with cutting-edge tech, participants explore powerful tools like laser cutters and 3D printers.

Our Machines

At Tic Tac Lab, you'll find robots, tablets, and computers—but that's not all! We also have a fablab (fabrication laboratory) designed especially for young people. Each machine has its own nickname, often chosen by our students!

Laser Cutter

Vinyl Cutter

His nickname: Bro (named after his brand, Brother).

Like his big sister Clémentine, Bro cuts materials. With his small blade, he can cut paper, vinyl, and even felt. But that’s not all! Bro is also an outstanding illustrator—he draws with millimeter precision based on vector files.

Bro and his buddy Becky, the heat press, make the perfect pair for creating custom t-shirts (a process called heat transfer vinyl or "flocking").

THE TOP CHIEFS

Charlotte and Margo met in 2016 at Museomix, a creative hackathon held in museums. Since 2022, they’ve been running Tic Tac Lab together.

Charlotte – Before landing at Tic Tac Lab, Charlotte worked in cultural mediation for the National Theatre and the Kanal museum in Brussels. A top-notch maker, she also managed the MicroFactory and CityFab3. In her free time, she enjoys working on ceramic projects and discovering great restaurants!

Margo – At age 6, Margo was already writing schoolbooks for her brothers. She’s had a passion for teaching ever since. In a past life, she was a lawyer in Canada… but that was before she discovered Belgian fries!
