Quantum world hands-on in Paderborn

The event “Quantenwelt zum Anfassen” [German] has brought together the projects of “Quantum aktiv” (including GAlaQSci) and “Quantum Future Education” funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technologies, and Space (BMFTR), with various multiplicators from quantum research and education. It took place from February 17 to 18, 2026, at Nixdorf MuseumsForum Paderborn.

In short, interactive sessions, visitors from the research and education sectors, museum representatives, and other organizations were able to try out our educational game Qookies, which is currently in development. Afterwards, we discussed the project, the game, and its future applications, with the common goal of making quantum technologies accessible to a broad audience via various educational programs.

An exciting program also provided opportunities to network with multiplicators and the other projects, creating space for many inspiring conversations.
