Library Hub Swarming with Digital Activities at Central Location
Get ready, folks! The Digital Democracy Extravaganza is kicking things off at our city library! Hear that? "Digital Democracy. Have Your Say. Shape the Future. Participate." It's a call to arms for citizens to dive into the digital realm. Over 2,500 actions aim to level up your knowledge, so don't be a stranger if tech isn't your strongest suit. Karin Röhrich (Director of the City Library) welcomes one and all, with special attention to the prime-agers – yup, that's you!
So, you might find yourself chatting with robots or tinkering with remote-controlled cars. After a thrilling tech-tastic session, it's time to immerse yourself in virtual worlds by the "Competence Center Smart City" and the PIKSL-Labor. Put on some VR glasses and get ready to explore the Green Zoo in Wuppertal or survive a realistic flood simulation.
The City Library will showcase its impressive portfolio of digital offerings. Stroll through the "DigiTalBar," where you can turn those old video cassettes, slides, or vinyl records into digital memories. Need something more present-day? Take a spin on the 3D printer to create a little souvenir or head to the "LeihBar" (the library of things) and borrow a 3D printer, 3D pen, or VR glasses with your library card.
Need a digital digital boost? Beyond its mind-blowing tech offering, the City Library provides consulting services. Check out the test station for artificial intelligence, loiter around the Consumer Center NRW info stand, or attend lectures at 11 am and 2 pm on "Digital Forecasting" and "Digital Legacy – What Happens to My Data?" The local cops are here to fill you in on internet and telephone security, and during a digital consultation hour from 10 am to 12 pm, you can get help with your questions about your devices.
Want a closer look at how digital technologies are being used in Wuppertal? The "Competence Center Smart City" is offering two sensor walks, revealing how tech measures air quality, traffic flow, and the Wupper level. No need to sign up – just show up!
Craving for virtual sustenance? The Friends of the City Library have you covered with a cake buffet and a cup of coffee – all for a small donation.
Want to know more about the event? Chances are you'll find talks on democratic participation in digital contexts, diversity, inclusion, and initiatives to engage citizens with digital democratic tools. It's all about speaking up and shaping the future! Head to the organizers for the complete lowdown.
In the digital extravaganza, you can enhance your technology skills and lifestyle through various workshops. For instance, you may learn about education and self-development by attending lectures on digital forecasting and digital legacy, or by consulting experts about internet and telephone security. Additionally, you could explore the use of technology in Wuppretal by joining the sensor walks offered by the Competence Center Smart City.
