EduMediaLab

The EduMediaLab offers stimuli and spaces for learning with and about media as well as the exploration of creative scope, e.g. with 3D printing, programmable microprocessors and virtual reality applications. The focus is on reflected media action and the critical examination of the innovation and risk potential of social-media changes, on the one hand with a view to possibilities of creative design, political participation and the promotion of democracy, and on the other hand with a view to tendencies of surveillance and control as well as algorithmisation and the spread of disinformation.
