In cooperation with Wirtschaftsagentur Wien we offer an exciting program for kids at Maker Faire Vienna on May 5th &6th, 2018.
For all workshops and hands-on activities: Just come by, no pre-registration needed! There is limited space for all workshops, therefore participants will be registered by the “first come, first served” principle. Some workshop hosts ask for a contribution towards expenses (for materials etc.) that can only be paid in cash.
Promotes creativity and goes easy on the environment and your pocketbook: Stickers created by BADALA (derived from the Panjabi word for 'transform') can turn old cardboard boxes into eco-friendly toys and inspire kids’ imagination and creativity.
You love taking snapshots of your life and want to learn more about how to use lighting, green rooms and more to make cool professional photographs? Come by at the DaVinciLab Photo Booth and capture your Maker Faire adventure on camera! The picture is directly printed on site - keep it and take it home!
The DaVinci Lab discovers and nurtures talents. It's all about experimenting, trying, designing, developing, testing and reflecting on new things. We are turning kids into critical designers of the digital world and awakening the" DaVinci Element "in every child.

Marble Run introduces the concept of how to create a hypothesis. Using angles to adjust the trajectory of their marble, children will create a track that is able to guide a marble successfully to the bottom of the track and into a cup. Though design, children will create a hypothesis and then adjust a range of variables to prove the hypothesis correct. They will analyze ideal angles to achieve the ideal rate of travel, utilize friction to control rate of travel, and construct a free body diagram from the known forces: Normal Force, Force Applied, Gravitational Force, Frictional Force. (from 5 years)
