Maker Talk: “Old School Science” vs. the Maker and FabLab Movement – Attracting Young People to Science and Innovation

This talk will be held in English!

How can universities and corporationsget our restless teenagers involved in technology and innovation? With spectacular interactivities or by showing their long traditions and history? A growing number of universities in Europe invites the young to be part of science and technology itself, in school projects, through ‚maker faires‘ and ‚fablabs‘. Science LinX represents the quickly growing University of Groningen in the Netherlands, what worked well in their approach and what did not?

Maker Talk: “Just another Hype” or “New ways of exploration and fabrication” – Discussing the International Maker and FabLab-Movement

Maker Faires and FabLabs attract people of all ages to explore new ideas, discover their creativity, craft and design products all over the world. How does this swirling Do-It-Yourself-movement relate to “traditional ways” of science, research and innovation? How can it contribute to new ways of “thinking outside the box”? Is this movement just another crazy idea?
Panel discussion with Prof. Claudius Lazzeroni (Essen), Rick Hall (Nottingham), Bart van de Laar (Groningen)
