The Munich Science Days with the discovery realm of FORSCHA inspired more than 5,000 visitors in the traffic center of the Deutsches Museum with forays into the worlds of current research. At many hands-on and experimental stations, you could experiment, build, play and ask questions. ORIGINS, together with the excellence clusters e-conversion, SyNergy and MCQST as well as the Munich Quantum Valley, had a fabulous and well-visited corner right at the beginning of Hall 1, shortly after the entrance.
Fridge magnets, selfie wall, teaching materials and interesting conversations
At the ORIGINS stand, people in educational professions learned about teaching materials and training courses, while school students made fridge magnets from a cosmological collection of images of celestial bodies, stars, galaxies and black holes. Parents with children, trainees, students and interested non-professionals of all ages gathered in front of the ORIGINS Selfie-Point to photograph themselves wearing original CERN helmets in front of a two-by-two meter section of the LHC tunnel at CERN.
A big thank you goes to our great PhD students Eva Sextl, Christian Spannfellner, Yaroslav Kulii, Boyang Yu, Katrin Penski, Christoph Jagfeld, Jan-Hagen Krohn, Dominik Laxhuber and Stefan Lederer. Without you we would not have been able to cope with the large number of visitors. It was great fun having you guys there!
