SCIENCE IN MOTION – Animated knowledge to go!
3-day holiday workshop for girls
For all creative and curious girls* aged 12 to 16, there is a special highlight at the Dresden Technology Collections during the summer holidays. In this intensive course at the DLR School Lab, you will become directors and researchers at the same time!
You will carry out exciting experiments or find a scientific problem that you have always wanted to solve.
Your findings or the solution to your problem form the basis for your film script. You will have the opportunity to create your own animated film from scratch and turn scientific phenomena into moving images.
The course is aimed at anyone who likes to get to the bottom of things and has a spirit of discovery. In addition to the creative process, the focus is also on the idea of community: not only do you produce your own work, but you also make a contribution that others can benefit from - by sharing knowledge in a clear and entertaining way.

- Duration: 3 days, Tue and Wed 09:30 - 16:30, Thu 09:30 - 15:30

From idea to lamp: prototyping with cardboard and LEDs
Holiday workshop for girls as part of the crossmediatour
In this 3-day course, you’ll be crafting, building and, finally, switching on the light! Working in teams, you’ll design and build your own small lamp prototype based on your own wishes and ideas. In the design process, a prototype is an early, functional model that can be easily made using cardboard. We’ll show you how it’s done and can’t wait to see your creative ideas!
Using simple materials, tools, LEDs and a bit of creativity, you’ll create a genuine designer piece step by step. The technical side of things is straightforward: we’ll be soldering, gluing and working with LED lights that are perfect for DIY projects. You don’t need any prior experience – just a desire to build something with your own hands.
- The course is for girls only.
- Age: 12 to 16 years
- Duration: 3 days –
, 11–13 August, 9.30 am–4.30 pm each day - Meals included; travel costs may be covered
