Family Tour: A voyage through the microcosm of moss

There’s more to moss than you think: With our marvellous moss wall in the Kids’ Research Laboratory we will go on a journey through the microcosm, where rotifers, ciliates, and roundworms are bustling.

Introducing the BioLab: the biotechnology lab inside a museum

To observe various biological processes on a cellular and molecular level the BioLab is equipped with various infrastructures that we will introduce in this Home Delivery stream and in doing so, learn more about bio technology and the proper tools.

Anatomy of an AI System - What is behind the production of AI systems?

In “Anatomy of an AI” we show you the countless components and factors behind the production of artificially intelligent systems, using Amazon Echo as an example. However, this process is so complex that it is currently difficult to understand in its full extent.

Glacier shrinkage up close

With the installation "Glacier Retreat" of our exhibition "Global Shift" we want to give you an understanding of the phenomenon of glacier retreat and above all put it into a local and global context.

Global Shift - Setting off into a new world

Join us in the exhibition "Global Shift"! Here we deal with the many facets of global changes and upheavals. What does the new geography of the digital age look like? How do populations and their structures develop? What will our world look like in the future?

Führung: GPT-2 - The text writing AI

"GPT-2" is the name of a machine learning model with which the American research group OpenAI has developed a remarkably powerful language system. "GPT-2" is transformer-based, which is the name of a new approach to NLP (Natural Language Processing), in which the system also learns independently which words and parts of a text require more attention.

Augmented Reality Sandbox - Playing sand in a different way

A sandbox as a research environment: digging holes and piling up heaps of sand is not only a lot of fun, it also offers a first taste of geoscientific work thanks to 3D visualizations. Topographical contour lines are formed by playing and digging around in the sand, creating elevation color maps or simulated water via 3D projections.

AI meets Music

AI x Music is an exhibition about the encounter between Artificial Intelligence and music, as well as human creativity and technical perfection. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence offer a multitude of possibilities for creative composition. Artists all over the world are already experimenting with them.

Donkey Car - The self driving Toy Car

A "Donkey Car" is a self-driving car in mini format, a remote-controlled car that is trained to be able to independently master a course. Donkey is an open source project of a group of volunteers who share a common enthusiasm for self-driving cars - and want to build them themselves.

Animaker - A playground of Artificial Intelligence

What animal is it? With Lego bricks we build our own fantasy creatures and the Artificial Intelligence has to guess which animal it is and also breathes life into it in a virtual world! With the "Animaker" in the Kids' Research Laboratory, the boundaries between the virtual and physical world become blurred. There are no limits to creativity!

Ghostwriter AI - This is how Artificial Intelligence writes

"GPT-2" is the name of a machine learning model with which the American research group OpenAI has developed a remarkably powerful language system. "GPT-2" is transformer-based, which is the name of a new approach to NLP (Natural Language Processing), in which the system also learns independently which words and parts of a text require more attention.

KI on Board - How Artificial Intelligence learns a car to drive

In a few years, robot cars will be encountered more and more often as real road users in everyday life. Robots behind the wheel? Probably not in this form. Rather, Artificial Intelligence is the key to autonomous driving.

Erwin, the little patient

Just like a doctor, you can open the doll Erwin, our little patient, by the stomach. Hidden inside are removable organs, just like in a real human being. This way we explore together what the inside of the human body looks like and learn more about body and health in a playful way.

Object detection – This is where the AI fails

In this Home-Delivery episode you will learn how the training of an Artificial Intelligence works exactly and how and why the AI is sometimes wrong in object detection.

Tour: Brainpower & ... IV

In this guided tour, we look at how complex the linked brain cells of humans are and how this is in contrast to other living beings, such as the nematode C. Elegance.

Family Tour

In this Family Tour we show you that our brain is like a workshop for thinking. And it even works with electricity! In a playful way, we will see how thinking and learning works from the brain's point of view and try out a so-called brain-computer interface.

Tour: Brainpower & ... IV

In this guided tour, we look at how complex the linked brain cells of humans are and how this is in contrast to other living beings, such as the nematode C. Elegance.

Tour: Brainpower & ... III

In this tour we show you, that the real detailed functionality of our nerve cells is the basis for a different approach on Artificial Intelligence: biologically based machine learning.

Tour: Brainpower & ... II

From the structure of the Gyri and Sulci, which we now already know from the "Tour: Brainpower & ... I", we zoom into the deeper layers: What do neurons look like? How does the information transfer in the brain take place? And how does our nervous system work?

Family Tour

Every child knows what light is! But could you explain it if asked? And what is light for? We will answer these questions and show you by the example of "nonvisual-art" how artists use light as a medium in their works.
