Career orientation: how you can turn AI and robotics into your profession

In 1984, Phänomena fascinated over 1.2 million people in Zurich

Already in 1984, Phänomena was the place where people looked, marvelled and suddenly saw the world with completely different eyes. It was the place where complex things became simple and tangible, where the future was tangible. More than 40 years later, we are again at this point: a world in transition. Artificial intelligence and robotics are developing rapidly. These are different technologies that will shape the everyday life of your learners, but that only few really understand. Questions that concern schools: How do we prepare young people for this future? How do we make AI and robotics comprehensible, not only as theory, but as a real experience? Today we are taking up the story of Phänomena again: Phänomena On Tour makes the big questions about humans, AI and robotics tangible for your learners – scientifically based, interactive and at 6 locations throughout Switzerland.
