Exploring research, questioning role models Future Day 2025 at TU Braunschweig
Being curious and immersing yourself in the world of science for a day – that’s what schoolchildren were able to do with us at TU Braunschweig on 3 April. On this year’s Future Day, around 20 institutes and facilities at TU Braunschweig opened their doors to provide exciting insights into research and technology. From programming robots to building electrical circuits and designing bridges – the varied programme invited visitors to join in, be amazed and discover careers beyond the clichés. Take a look at our picture gallery for some impressions of an inspiring day full of exciting prospects of the future.
