Project Description
The online portal for young people presents itself as a virtual research station and informs about various subjects of science and technology in an entertaining and emotional way.
The info-centre »Infothek« provides a lot of background information and interactive, downloadable experiments, while various technologies of the future can be explored and experienced in the »Lab«. Moving into the »Skylounge«, you can learn more about the professional training and work of a scientist and pick up ideas for your own professional career.
Within the laboratory applications, subject-specific Flash games complement the offer by enabling visitors to take a closer look into technological aspects in a playful way.
