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.

Taster courseOn the trail of fragrance

Holiday workshop

Rather unknown, but exciting: the sense of smell. In this workshop, you can test your nose and make a fragrance sample. You will learn how scents are created and how the nose actually knows what it is looking at.
