Many students, association representatives and partners came to the opening of the IlmkubatorLab in the Finnhütten of the TU Ilmenau's start-up service. Shortly before the semester break, TU Ilmenau opened the IlmkubatorLab, another makerspace for students and people interested in starting a business at the university. On the occasion of the opening, university members, partners and the student associations had the opportunity to get to know the concept and the rooms of the new IlmkubatorLab in the Finnhütten on the Fischerhütten grounds and to contribute their own ideas for its use. Those who start studying engineering, media, mathematics or natural sciences at the TU Ilmenau are involved in research projects early on, work on interdisciplinary projects or complete internships. However, time is also limited within the framework of such events. Trying things out practically, facing new challenges and having creative learning experiences beyond the lecture hall is, however, more important than ever in today's world: "In view of current challenges, it is no longer enough to have comprehensive specialist knowledge," explains Anja Geigenmüller, Vice President for Studies and Teaching at TU Ilmenau: We need a new kind of creative learning and a completely different understanding of how to impart knowledge and skills. And for that, we also need new learning spaces - also in the physical sense - in which students can try things out and develop action skills.
