Open Roberta AG
LEGO Mindstorms in action
In our Open Roberta AG, you will learn to write programmes that control or observe something in the real world quickly and without any prior knowledge. With the help of LEGO Mindstorm EV3, we build small robots that you can control with the graphical programming language NEPO. So: build the LEGO, attach the sensor, plug in the software and off you go, only your idea counts!

GameLab Arduino: Build your own game!
3-day holiday workshop
Do you want to develop your own game - not just on a computer, but with real electronics? Then grab a place in the GameLab Arduino at the DLR_School_Lab TU Dresden.
In our 3-day workshop, you will immerse yourself in the world of microcontrollers and build your own project: a reaction game, a "hot wire", a mini-piano or something completely original that you come up with spontaneously. You combine LEDs, buttons, sensors and small programmes - and in the end your game really works.
You don't need any previous knowledge. If you are curious and like to try things out, you've come to the right place.
