CYBATHLON @school – when artificial becomes natural

Workshop in German and English, 12–16 years

Is a prosthetic arm just an artificial assistance system that is not part of the body? What if the prosthesis suddenly helps people to move independently, autonomously and naturally in society again? In this workshop, you will experience how people with a physical disability move naturally in everyday life thanks to artificial assistance systems. You will gain an extraordinary and inspiring insight into the topics of inclusion and technology.

By walking with a prosthetic leg, driving a wheelchair, completing a course for the blind or handling objects with a prosthetic arm, you will gain completely new experiences of movement. In this workshop, you will not only be sensitised to the physical barriers that people with disabilities face, but you will also actively deal with them and experience the smooth transition from artificial to natural on your own body.

The workshop will be accompanied by ambassadors (people with physical disabilities) who will provide tips and tricks to help you overcome the supposedly simple hurdles.
