Kid's Uni "Who saves the world?"
Prof. Dr. Kai Tiedemann invites you to explore exciting opportunities in digital fabrication and discover how technologies can help develop eco-friendly solutions. The Green FabLab aims to show children and young people that they can be not only part of the problem but also part of the solution.
In recent years, our society has faced a number of crises that have significantly impacted both our environment and way of life. Since 2020, the media has been dominated by reports on the COVID crisis, the Ukraine crisis, the energy crisis, and migration issues, in addition to the ongoing global challenges of climate change and environmental pollution. The Green FabLab at Hochschule Rhein-Waal focuses particularly on the latter two, working to raise awareness and develop solutions to these urgent issues.
The Green FabLab’s mission is to help children and young people understand that they can be active participants in solving environmental problems, not just passive bystanders. With the ever-growing challenges posed by climate change and pollution, it’s vital to involve the next generation in conversations about sustainable solutions. By exploring the possibilities of digital fabrication, we aim to show how technological innovations can contribute to addressing environmental issues.
At the upcoming Kid’s Uni event at Hochschule Rhein-Waal, Prof. Dr. Kai Tiedemann will present an overview of how digital fabrication can be used to create environmentally friendly solutions. The event will feature both theoretical insights and practical examples from the Green FabLab’s projects, demonstrating how children and students can actively engage with creative and technological approaches to environmental challenges.
The work at the Green FabLab is grounded in the belief that education is key to change. By providing young people with the knowledge and tools to develop innovative solutions, we not only foster their creativity and problem-solving abilities but also help pave the way to a more sustainable future.
We invite all interested parties – especially children, parents, teachers, and students – to come and learn how digital fabrication can be used to tackle environmental issues and drive positive change. Together, we can inspire the next generation to play an active role in creating a better world.
