What will the future of mobility look like?
At the “Futures Lab” Science Camp at KIT, young people developed their own ideas for sustainability, equity, and innovation in mobility. They explored current research on autonomous vehicles, traffic data, and new technologies; discussed people’s needs; and visualized their future scenarios using 3D printing and AI.
In this way, the science camp combined futures studies, technical development, and the users’ perspective.

What do the smallest building blocks of our world reveal about the universe? Thirty students spent a week exploring this question at the “Particle and Astroparticle Physics” science camp at KIT. They learned about current research, visited research facilities, and conducted measurements and data analyses as part of their own projects.
At the end of the camp, the students presented their research findings and demonstrated just how exciting it can be to conduct scientific research on their own.
