The Fill
Future Lab

The children delve into digitalization and technology. The experiments and instruments are utilized in an age-appropriate manner and tie in ideally with the children's existing knowledge. After an introductory game with "Pepper" the robot, the kids switch to moving from lab to lab to discover the digital world.

Working in teams, attendees get to see all eight labs and their technologies and become "experts" in the respective subject areas. They spend 25 minutes in each lab before moving to the next.

DURATION: By arrangement
NUMBERS: 12 to 26 participants

TARGET GROUP: Due to the different difficulty levels per Lab, this format is suitable for every age group (from 11 years).

The focus of this format is on "team building" and "competition". Cooperation in the team is very important for the groups' shared success. The digital networking of the labs and the common goal make the "we are one" spirit clearly perceptible.

After an introduction phase, the attendees are divided into eight groups. Each team has approximately two hours to familiarize themselves with the technologies and to solve their individual challenges independently. They all have a common goal: to perform the "Robocup". Each team makes its individual contribution to successful performance. Finally, the results are reflected upon and parallels drawn to everyday situations and the professional world, and then the hazards of digitalization are discussed.

The participants learn about business interdependencies and the importance of collaboration within the team (= employees) and between the eight labs (= departments) for a successful operating process. In this workshop, the concept of the "FUTURE LAB team challenge" is placed in a corporate context. We would also be happy to refer to business studies classes or to company-specific topics. 

In the course of this workshop, participants experiment with the technologies of the labs and experience digitalization and creativity consciously for themselves. The attendees are familiarized with the subject of digitalization in a playful manner in order to arouse their interest and enthusiasm in dealing with the topic more intensively. In the subsequent project work, they produce creative results in groups. The assignment here can be a task that's relevant to the participants' company, school, area of life, etc. The creativity of the group is stimulated by different process steps, coaching from the workshop leader, and use of all the technologies available in the FUTURE LAB. In the final presentation to colleagues, teachers, trainers, etc., digitalization is reflected upon jointly in the group and personal further development is pursued.

We can offer your school, your teaching staff, and your students our professional support in line with your goals:

• Certification of your school as a "digi.TNMS"
• Teacher training in the field of digitalization
• Skill building in the field of the "digi.komp" initiative
• Preparation for competitions (e.g., BeeBot Cup)
• Specialist lectures

All FUTURE LAB events are free of charge for teaching staff and pupils of kindergartens and schools in the Innviertel region.

We would be happy to arrange a personal meeting with all other interested parties to discuss the contribution to costs.
