Discover, try out, understand

The exhibition invites visitors to an event experience with a clear target audience: families, technology enthusiasts, students, teachers, and companies will experience the event atmosphere of a modern makerspace at interactive stations. From robotics demos to AI use cases: visitors will test, reflect on, and discuss the opportunities, risks, as well as the ethics and responsibilities involved in the use of AI.

Event management with a heart for the region

The route connects sites of knowledge and industrial culture in the Ruhr area and starts at RUB Makerspace – a central place for innovation and transfer.
