Scientific curiosity sparked with the student labs on ICM Day 2025

- News

Last Thursday, the foyer of the KIT Audimax was transformed into an experimental space: more than 100 students from grades 10 to 13 took part in our interactive student labs and immersed themselves in the worlds of mobility, robotics, physics, and space exploration. Interest was enormous — the stations were fully booked well in advance!

A special highlight: the workshops were specifically designed to promote young talent and were developed by dedicated teams from KIT and the University of Stuttgart. The goal: to make science tangible and inspire young people to pursue STEM fields.

At five exciting workshop stations, participants at our mobile research labs learned how:

  • autonomous vehicles perceive their surroundings
  • sustainable and connected cities are planned
  • modern propulsion systems work
  • robots learn from nature or from humans
  • a satellite can be built and launched
  • cameras, glasses, or microscopes work
     

A heartfelt thank-you to the amazing teams behind the demonstrators and the teachers — and of course to the curious young minds who made this day so special.
