Route Zukunft – WORK IN THE RUHR: Interactive Exhibition between Work, Technology and AI

The Route Zukunft – WORK IN THE RUHR makes the future of work in the Ruhr area tangible. In the RUB Makerspace at O-Werk in Bochum, visitors experience at interactive stations how artificial intelligence, new technologies, and regional innovation shape everyday work. The event experience combines hands-on moments with informed context – ideal for curious explorers, families, students, and professionals.

Atmosphere: Curiosity meets Maker Spirit

Even upon entering the historically preserved O-Werk, one can feel the special event atmosphere: industrial flair, clear pathways, workshop sounds, and the audience buzz of a lively lab. The exhibition invites experimentation – see, hear, touch. Thus, the future is not just explained but experienced.

What to Expect

Discover stations focused on work with AI, robotics, prototyping, and collaborative making. The route bundles knowledge, application, and target group outreach: from beginner demos to in-depth content for tech enthusiasts.
