Visitors of all ages can get hands-on with various experiments, such as building a foldable microscope, soldering a circuit, or mixing a skin cream. Excursions, like a food tasting with the small monkeys Plumploris (slow lorises) at the Dortmund Zoo or a virtual flight into space with “SPACEBUZZ One” on the TU campus, round out the offerings.
