Mobile and full of energy - creative minds at the BTU campus

Alternative Propulsion for climate-friendly mobility, interesting facts about flow experiments under zero gravity, learning in digital worlds: The list of exciting topics is diverse and offers all those interested not only news from science but also phenomena to marvel at, to touch and to try out.

When it comes to the mobility of the future and energy topics, the campus of BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg is the perfect address: On Saturday, October 7, 2023, it's that time again. From 6 p.m. - midnight, in addition to many stations in the Central Lecture Theatre Building, the new DLR School Lab, the flow research labs and the energy and high-voltage researchlabs will open. The CreativeOpenLab (COLab) will present itself in the Start Block B2 Gründungszentrum.

The hands-on, information and demonstration offerings are wide-ranging. Many are in particular also suitable for children and young people. Experience experiments, microscopy, drone programming, escape room, VR and AI applications, crime scene science and more....

Locations and highlights at a glance

Exciting facts about flow simulation and high-voltage technology - Lab tours and demonstrations. (Meet in front of the Central Lecture Hall Building).:

  • Guided tour to the Fluid Dynamics Application Center/Fluid Center: From parabolic flights to experiments on the ISS here are exciting things about the importance of weightlessness in fluid dynamics research and insights with VR glasses into a world without gravity.
  • Visit and guided tour of the Energy Distribution and High Voltage Engineering laboratory areas: artificial generation of lightning in the high-voltage hall, intelligent control of energy flows in the smart grid and training simulator for high-voltage networks.
