Xbrick® at the futuromundo festival – understanding the future and space

What a inspiring event! Xbrick® took part in the Global Future Festival of Learning: futuromundo – and that fit perfectly. Because as a tool for moving learning and conquering space, Xbrick® could not be missing here.

Right at the entrance, we showed what is possible with Xbrick®: we built the futuromundo logo out of Xbrick® – expansive, colorful, 2.50 m high and 3.80 m wide. Because the best way to learn is to understand and build things yourself. In this way, the festival idea of “transfer and new perspectives” became visible and tangible here. And transporting the 45 Xbricks®? It was even very easy on foot – no problem with the lightweight Xbricks® and our wd3 office just around the corner from the Liederhalle.

Our Xbrick® were also used in the BETZOLD Maker Space Area. Our partners Betzold and westermann products hammered, built and tried things out in the area. The Xbrick® made it easy for the participants to design the space flexibly – perfect for the many creative hands-on stations, which showed how STEM education and future skills can be promoted in a playful way.

In the workshop “Moving learning worlds, understanding space – and what a simple cuboid can have to do with it”, Helen from the Xbrick® team gave practical suggestions: from sitting circles, drumming or balancing on Xbrick®, to number towers and room visualizations in real size, to a rocket built from Xbrick® that takes off for Mars with the AR app Xplore. Lots of ideas on how learning can be brought to life through movement, haptics and personal experimentation + experience.

It was exciting and motivating for us to be part of this first-time event. So many committed people, so many inspiring discussions and ideas for the learning of the future! We hope that these great ideas will find their way into many schools – and we are delighted to be able to make a contribution to this with Xbrick®.
