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.

What can a rock tell us about the history of Earth? Fifteen students spent a week at the “Our Earth” Science Camp at KIT exploring soil, rocks, and the water cycle. In the lab, they examined materials and mineral waters, and on an excursion to Bad Herrenalb, they explored Tiger Sandstone and the Alb. While panning for gold, they were able to search for clues themselves. A week full of experiments, excursions, and hands-on research!

How can you explain a complicated topic in a way that even people outside your department can understand? That’s exactly what the current KI Challenge is all about. Use AI to present a complex KIT topic in a clear and engaging way—as text, an infographic, a comic, a dialogue, or a storyboard. Explore how AI can help you with this and develop your own creative solution.
Submit your entry by September 13, 2026. The most compelling entries will then be presented in a webinar.
