From tone to sound – discover the world of acoustics!
3-day holiday workshop
Why does a violin sound different from a guitar? How is sound created in the first place? And how does a loudspeaker work?
In the holiday programme offered by DLR_School_Lab TU Dresden and the Klippel Foundation, you can immerse yourself in the exciting world of acoustics and get to the bottom of these questions. Bring an instrument and find out how technology and music interact: by listening carefully, taking measurements with your smartphone and conducting practical experiments.
Investigate acoustic phenomena, learn about their basics and then build the world's simplest loudspeaker! You will be accompanied by acoustics experts Wolfgang Klippel and Wolfgang Böhm, who will bring their expertise directly from the field.
