At open-house events like

• open-house day at TU Dortmund (Tag der offenen Tür)
• university days of Dortmund (Dortmunder Hochschultage)
• trial university (SchnupperUni)
• trial university for kids (KinderUni)
• girls*day

we warmly invite you to our Institute of Mechanics to experience together: how do students learn the design of constructions (and save resources), how do researchers describe materials (and contribute to new developments) and how do we teach these things to an artificial intelligence (and when are we better off doing it ourselves). We would like to give an insight into a lecture, show the working fields of modern mechanics and invite participants to solving puzzles and trying out our experiments. Children and young-at-hearts can win prizes for high constructions and for having a nose for the static and dynamic puzzles.
