"Experience the future up close!"
In January, the Kinder Academy made its first guest appearance at the Makerspace Geistesblitz in Löbau.
On January 13, 2023, the Kinder Academy—a program offered as part of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences’ lifelong learning initiatives—held its first event at the Geistesblitz Makerspace in Löbau. The open workshop aims primarily to raise awareness of future technologies among young people and empower them to successfully carry out their own DIY projects.
In cooperation with our university, a very special event titled “3D Printing and Augmented Reality: Experience the Future Up Close” took place, specifically for elementary school students from the region. A total of forty children were able to experience 3D printing live and explore augmented reality using modern smart glasses.
Daniel Winkler and Kazimierz Przybysz from the Faculty of Business Administration and Engineering Management demonstrated the possibilities of augmented reality, which allowed all the children to experience virtual space for themselves in the real world. In the second part of the event, high school students Alexander, Hannes, and Leon from Löbau demonstrated the possibilities of 3D printing.
“Experience the future up close and help shape it”— that’s our approach, according to Professor Sophia Keil, Vice President for Education and International Affairs, who was in attendance.
Special thanks go to the association Löbau lebt e. V., which hosted us and the Kinder Academy at its facilities.
The “Kinder Academy-zu-Gast” program aims to promote interesting educational opportunities offered by the University of Upper Lusatia. The current schedule for the Kinder Academies is available at www.hszg.de/kinder.
