Open Lab evening: All's well that ends well

Futures grow here

What does the future of our soil look like? What ideas do we need to protect this valuable resource? At the Open Lab evening "Soil good, everything good", we invite you to design your own ideas for the future.

Your prototypes will become part of the participatory installation "Shared Grounds" in the Futurium Lab.

Together, you will dive into the hidden world beneath our feet: You will discover surprising facts about soil health and develop your own vision for a sustainable future using the Futures Prototyping method.

Whether you send a robot mole on a hunt for microplastics, give the soil new rights or design a whole new plant world - this workshop is all about building, drawing, tinkering and inventing! Creative materials, exploratory questions and an open view of future topics create spaces in which everyone can develop their ideas and make them visible.

What is an Open Lab evening?

The Lab gets creative every Thursday. You will learn about methods such as design thinking or future storytelling, can try out 3D printers and laser cutters and take a look behind the scenes of the Lab projects. There's something new every week.
