Science & Technology
Technologie-Anthropolog*innen, Psycholog*innen, Cybersecurity-Researcher*innen, Historiker*innen, Neurobiolog*innen, Soziolog*inen (und und und ...) - dieser Track ist euch und eurer Forschung gewidmet. Hier untersuchen wir die Synergien von Wissenschaft und Technologie. Wir fragen, wie technologische Entwicklungen und Innovationen Kultur und Gesellschaft beeinflussen, wie Kultur und Gesellschaft ihrerseits digitale Entwicklung und Innovation vorantreiben. Dabei interessieren uns Infrastrukturen und Hardware ebenso wie Einblicke in die Logbücher aus Laboren, ThinkTanks und Universitäten. Nicht zuletzt geht es uns auch um das Träumen, das Tüfteln, das Designen, um neue Materialien - um Making und Hacking.

- Science & Technology-When it comes to emerging technologies we often fall back in our old bad habits: Ideas and services are created with tech at the core. Where are people in this equation? How can we create trust for AI, IoT and co?
This talk will describe different emerging technologies that improve people's lives. It will also show what to consider, if you want to solve problems with the means of new technologies.
- Science & TechnologyTeens & Kids-We will be creating our own bubble soap and making different sized bubble blowing tools from straws to large wands. We will be testing to see how big we can make our bubbles before they pop and using our craft skills to see if we can make geometric shapes for bubbles. In this activity we will be observing light refraction, learning about shapes and testing different materials for best results.
For our take home craft, you can make your own bubble painting.

Ravi Naik is currently suing Cambridge Analytica. Paul-Olivier Dehaye helped journalists uncover the use of personal data in elections, leading up to the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Together with her team at Privacy International, Frederike Kaltheuner has investigated the systemic problem of data exploitation in the context of elections, such as in Kenya.
