Become a data treasure-digger @Tilburg
In this popular workshop people build a digital weather house based on an Arduino mini computer, which in turn transmits data to meetjestad.nl via the LoRa network. The results will be shown on the Monitor of the City in the FutureLab in the LocHal.

An inspiring open market for education professionals. Various parties will show how technology can be applied in primary education, alternating with short workshops and a visit to the Spacebuzz.

MBO on Tech Tour
Students of the ROC Tilburg are looking for tech companies in the region; Hoppenbrouwers Techniek, Jules Goossens Lightning Protection and the Efteling. Hoppenbrouwers Techniek is highly innovative in the field of installation technology. Jules Goossens is a top specialist in preventing damage caused by electrical phenomena. In the afternoon the Efteling is visited where the students get a look behind the scenes and see what work is being done on attractions in the Efteling. In this way, the students can immediately see in practice what kind of projects they will be able to work on at these companies in the future.

Amazing route
There's no such thing as a world without technology... But what connects technology with art and what does nature teach us about technology? What do they have to do with each other? Can they be interconnected? Or are they already connected? Pupils from group 6 discover this during the Dutch Technology Week during the Amazement Route in Tilburg city centre. The Amazement Route takes them from the Discover Station013 to the Museum De Pont, from Vincent's Drawing Room to the Nature Museum and from the Textile Museum to the library in the LocHal.
