Off to the lecture theatre: start of registration for children's university in Ingolstadt and Eichstätt

Between the 17th of October and the 21st of November, the lecturers will address topics from various disciplines: Thomas Haug, Professor of Physics and Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering at THI, will be speaking on the topic of "Magic and superpowers, we're turning the kitchen into a physics lab" and conducting amazing experiments. Norbert Paulo, Professor of Philosophy and Ethics of Digitalisation at the KU, will get to the bottom of the question of how humans should deal with Artificial Intelligence under the title "Humans, Robotics and AI". KU journalism graduate Annika-Franzetti will explain how journalists know which news is really true under the heading "Purple rhino spotted". Dr Tobias Huber, Assistant Professor for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence at THI, works with the audience to find out how Pacman, ChatGPT, and co. learn independently.

On the four children's university dates, the 17th and 24th of October as well as the 14th and 21st November, 45-minute lectures will take place from 4.15 pm in Eichstätt (Aula, KG Bau D, Ostenstr. 26) and Ingolstadt (lecture theatre E003/G011 Esplanade 10).
