A workshop about the human senses and their limitations, in which children will experiment with their senses and examine how technology can extend them. In a multidisciplinary laboratory, Garden of Science building.
Do we see everything around us? Are our senses capable of detecting everything around us? And are the senses of all creatures the same?
Human beings possess many remarkable and diverse abilities, allowing us to experience the colorfulness and many layers of our world. But it turns out that our senses also have quite a few limitations, and that other things exist in reality that we do not experience. What can we experience, and what can’t we? Come get to know our senses and their limits in a workshop where we will experience them thoroughly and up close!
In the workshop, we will try to sense things that humans are generally unable to perceive, and we will make an effort to improve our natural senses, expand them, and add to them—with the help of technology. And here is a thought-provoking challenge for you—try to imagine already: What things will we be able to sense or understand better with the help of technology? Will technology really be able to replace our senses?
Join the workshop and let’s think together!
