A small impulse can change the world. The flap of a butterfly's wings that triggers a hurricane on the other side of the world, or the cry of a mountain climber that triggers an avalanche - how can such small causes have such big effects? Of course, my voice alone cannot move a mountain. But the initial impulse can release the potential energy present in a system.
The workshop focuses on a phenomenon that inspires us all: the chain reaction. Using mechanical and electrical elements such as motors, sensors, levers and ball tracks, we work as a team to develop an impressive machine that is brought to life through clever connections and creative ideas.
The workshop not only raises awareness of the fascinating transformation of different forms of energy, but also shows how we can tame these forces together and trigger a spectacular chain reaction. Experience how a small action can have a big effect - an impressive experience that is only possible by working together!
