Zum Labor der Zuversicht

Discover technology together!

Together with great mentors, you will spend an afternoon tinkering, building and coding. You can then take your own self-built things home with you. In the two workshop modules, you will learn, for example, how to programme a robot or make books talk. You don't need any previous knowledge and you don't need to bring anything with you.

Without any previous knowledge!

You get a glimpse behind the scenes of the world of technology and can actively help shape it. What makes hardware and software work, how do you programme robots, how do you use a soldering iron? Together with media educators and mentors, you will learn how to create a simple programme yourself and how to hack paper and other materials.
