Making meets Museum

Digital media have become an integral part of cultural education and allow for new opportunities for engagement. The Maker Space at the Humboldt Forum deliberately brings together cultural-historical topics with innovative technologies and offers workshops for children, youngsters and adults. Inspired by the Humboldt Brothers, participants learn how to program holograms, they design utopian worlds in virtual-reality, and create everyday objects with laser cutters, 3D printers and other devices.

This training provides an insight into the digital educational methods and activities at the Humboldt Forum and introduces the workshop formats of the Maker Space. Together, the participants try out the software and methodology used, and discuss how these can be adapted to other educational contexts.
