All-Day Holiday Program
6 to 13 years
For anyone who can’t get enough adventure this summer, we are offering our holiday program on six dates this year, with full-day activities! With two workshops (and a supervised lunch break), we invite curious minds to come to our Museum of the Future for creative exploration and playful discovery.

Holiday Program: A micro:bit of Space
9 to 11 years
Discover the secrets of the universe and get to know the BBC micro:bit! In this workshop, you will slip into the role of a researcher and experiment with a microcontroller. You will take your first steps in programming and learn how to use your new skills for a space mission.

Holiday Program: Full power!
10 to 13 years
Hydrogen is considered a promising source of energy on the path to climate-neutral energy supply. However, this will probably only work with green hydrogen—hydrogen produced using alternative energies.
-
Holiday Program: Fully entangled
9 to 11 years
Everything on earth is connected. This can be seen in the things and structures we humans have made – the cables in our homes, power lines, underground water pipes, roads, railways and even our smartphones or social media.

Holiday Program: Hands up for Space!
9 to 11 years
How do our hands work? Why do we need a thumb? And what does all this have to do with space travel? Become an engineer yourself in this workshop and design a bionic hand prosthesis from very simple materials, modeled after a robot arm that helps astronauts with their work in space.

Holiday Program: Join us at the Kid’s Research Lab
6 to 8 years
Imagine there is a place where tons of exciting games, materials, and topics are waiting to be discovered by you: Travel into space, turn the world upside down, create colorful light shows—there are no limits to your thirst for knowledge!

Holiday Program: Lots going on in the moss
6 to 10 years
Slipper, eyelash, trumpet, and bear are the names given to the tiny animals in the microcosm. The moss is a particularly pleasant place to live, so soft and cozy, which is why threadworms, larvae, bacteria, and even slipper animals, eyelash animals, trumpet animals, and beard animals frolic there. You can’t see them with the naked […]

Holiday Program: Maschine 9x klug
6 to 8 years
How smart can calculators be? People talk about computers thinking and machines learning—we call this artificial intelligence. Many believe it is far too difficult to understand. In this workshop, we will put our own thinking machine through its paces to find out how smart machines are and how clever they can be compared to human […]

Holiday Program: Space Debris Tentacles
9 to 11 years
How can we protect the Earth’s orbit from space debris? In this creative workshop, we will embark on a mission to keep space clean and protect our satellites from space debris.

Holiday Program: Superhirn und Denkerstirn
6 to 8 years
“You have to be smart” we hear over and over again. And we are – quite a lot, in fact! The complex control center we are talking about here, our brain, weighs approximately 1.2 kilograms, is electrically charged, constantly collects information, and even gives commands.

Holiday Program: Wish Machine Workshop
10 to 13 years
Create your own dream machine with the endless possibilities of the BBC micro:bit! This tiny but powerful single-board computer is the perfect platform to bring your own invention to life. In the Ars Electronica Labs you will find all the tools you need for a prototype. Together, we’ll let our creative juices flow and design […]

Holiday Program: World Made to Measure
9 to 11 years
The Earth is around 4.6 billion years old – that’s pretty old when you consider that humans have only been around for 200,000 years. Nevertheless, we are changing our planet so radically that it can even be seen from space, as satellites show us the world from above.

Holiday Program: Zirkus Robotikus
9 to 11 years
The Machine Learning Studio is where it’s all happening! There are lots of cool machines here: cars that learn to drive themselves, robotic arms that do all kinds of things, robots on two legs that recognize faces, and even robotic balls that you can assemble into your own robots.
