Orientierungsplan: Was ist wo am ITEP

Around 25,000 visitors joined us in celebrating the Open Day at the North Campus of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology on June 17, 2023.

 

In bright sunshine, science enthusiasts of all ages flocked to the two-square-kilometer site from 10:00 a.m. to experience exciting hands-on experiments and catch a glimpse behind the scenes of laboratories and research facilities.

 

Among the more than 200 offerings were also nine different stations of the ITEP. With exciting experiments such as a magnetic levitation train, vacuum shooting or electro-magnet tinkering, there was something for everyone.

We are already looking forward to the next time when KIT will open its doors again - be curious!

Schülerlabor Energie am ITEP: Schüler beim Experimentieren KIT
School lab energy
Building:416 Room: 111

Experiments on the topic of superconductivity for small and large children are shown here. There is the possibility to tinker a magnetic plane or an electromagnet as well as to explore magnetic materials. As a highlight, there will be a dive into the quantum world and a superconductor will be made to float.

SupraTrans: Experience and "ErFahren" the quantum phenomenon of superconductivity at the ITEP open air test track for superconducting magnetic levitation systems.

Tours available throughout. Hours of operation from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m.
Participation in the levitation experiment only with prior registration on site (tickets issued at 11 am and 2 pm).
Please note: The levitation experiment is unfortunately not possible for children under 12 years of age or persons with pacemakers, metallic implants or limited mobility.

Cool technology is also needed for nothing - the vacuum... But how does that actually work and why so much effort for nothing at all? And what can you do with it that's useful or cool? We can even shoot with it!

Superconducting magnet technology
Building: 257 Technical center hall

Demonstrations between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Due to increasing complexity, humans are reaching their limits when it comes to winding coils. Robots are to take over this. A robot cell with three robots and their digital twin can be seen live in action.
