Workshops

Lego Mindstorms Workshop

With the Lego Mindstorms EV3, the children playfully learn how to build, program and control a robot. At the end of the workshop, they can interact with the robot and understand the relationship between the various actions of the robot and the underlying programming.

Chibitronics Workshop

Ready for the new crafting experience? In the Chibitronics workshop, the children will craft not only with scissors and paper, but also with gluing LEDs and circuit boards. Thus, they are given an easy introduction into the world of electronics and learn how to create circuits and LEDs to light up and flash.

Jumping Sumo Workshop

The "Jumping Sumo" is, in contrast to the QuadCopter last year, no flying but a driving drone that can jump to 80cm high. With a "route planner", the children can program a sequence of actions and teach the drone a number of tricks.
