In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and digital technologies, we want to offer a place where curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking about computer science can flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the opening, inspiring words were shared: Minister Wiederkehr highlighted the importance of engaging with informatics early on, Rector Schneider emphasized the creative and responsible use of technology, and Professor Tobias Kohn demystified the black box of learning computer science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For us, the eduLAB team, this opening marks another important step in our journey. Since our start in 2019, we have been growing from a pilot project with the interactive &#8220;<em>Abenteuer Informatik<\/em>&#8221; exhibition into a recognized hub for digital education. With our new, purpose-built rooms, we now have even more space to welcome school classes, host workshops, and develop educational projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are excited to continue our mission: <strong>to spark curiosity, foster creativity, and empower young people to shape the digital world of tomorrow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are curious, come visit us at Favoritenstra\u00dfe and join us in exploring the world of computer science!<\/p>\n\n\n \n<div data-block=\"gutenkit\/image-box\" data-post-id=\"1901\" id=\"block-6036249e-fc8e-41e4-8bb7-5062c396cbea\" class=\"wp-block-gutenkit-image-box gkit96cbea gutenkit-block\"><div class=\"gkit-info-image-box gkit-image-box style-modern\"><div class=\"gkit-box-header image-box-img-undefined\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1065\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lted.se.tuwien.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tu_edulabeo\u0308_300925-2-2.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-1911\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lted.se.tuwien.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tu_edulabeo\u0308_300925-2-2.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/lted.se.tuwien.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tu_edulabeo\u0308_300925-2-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lted.se.tuwien.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tu_edulabeo\u0308_300925-2-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lted.se.tuwien.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tu_edulabeo\u0308_300925-2-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lted.se.tuwien.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tu_edulabeo\u0308_300925-2-2-1536x1022.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"gkit-box-body gkit-image-box-body\"><div class=\"gkit-box-content gkit-image-box-body-inner\"><div class=\"gkit-box-body-content\"><div identifier=\"imageBox-description\" class=\"gkit-box-style-content\">Jens Schneider, Ren\u00e9 R\u00f6pke, Christoph Wiederkehr, Gerti Kappel, Martina Landman, Tobias Kohn, Lukas Lehner (from left to right).<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n \n\n \n<div data-block=\"gutenkit\/image-accordion\" data-post-id=\"1901\" id=\"block-583a091d-73bc-40ef-b537-f2822637b2f6\" class=\"wp-block-gutenkit-image-accordion gkit37b2f6 gutenkit-block\"><div class=\"gkit-image-accordion\" data-style=\"horizontal\"><div class=\"gkit-image-accordion-item\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/lted.se.tuwien.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tu_edulabeo\u0308_300925-21sq.jpg)\" data-link=\"&quot;&quot;\" data-event=\"click\" data-active=\"\"><span class=\"gkit-image-accordion-item-content\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"gkit-image-accordion-item gkit-image-accordion-item--active\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/lted.se.tuwien.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tu_edulabeo\u0308_300925-32sq.jpg)\" data-link=\"&quot;&quot;\" data-event=\"click\" data-active=\"true\"><span class=\"gkit-image-accordion-item-content\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"gkit-image-accordion-item\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/lted.se.tuwien.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tu_edulabeo\u0308_300925-17sq.jpg)\" data-link=\"&quot;&quot;\" data-event=\"click\" data-active=\"\"><span class=\"gkit-image-accordion-item-content\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n \n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are delighted to share that our new eduLAB facilities at TU Wien have officially been opened!
