Coding: Calliope and Sonic Pi / 20.03.2026
To control robots, we need to know how to program! In this workshop, we offer you an introduction to coding: The Calliope mini experimental board lets you explore technological knowledge and IT practice in a playful way. Advanced users can dive into live coding and produce music with the freeware Sonic Pi.
Experiment with a real KUKA robot! / 24.04.2026
Today we are working with a real industrial robot. Martina from the artist group robotlab (https://www.robotlab.de/) will give you a look behind the scenes and show you how she gets her robots to draw pictures or write texts.
Programming with Lego Mindstorms / 22.05.2026
How are robots programmed, how can they perceive their environment or react to it? We will use Lego Mindstorms software to learn how to program robots. We will have a lot of sensors and components at our disposal to “teach” the little machines how to paint or dance, for example.
Build your own robot / 12.06.2026
In this workshop, you will build your own little robot: you will think about possible movements, construct the mechanics, and use a wide variety of materials to design a creative body for your machine. We will solder, glue, paint—and at the end, you can take your invention home with you!
