Description
This programme item is part of the 88th Annual Conference of the DPG in Bonn.
Workshop starting at 18:00: Board games offer a unique way to communicate scientific concepts, combining education with entertainment. We invite early-career scientists to explore the intersection of science and game design. By sharing our insights as first-time developers of Quantista, a board game project funded by the BMBF that explores quantum technology, we aim to spark new creative ideas. Participants will gain insight into the challenges of translating complex scientific topics into engaging gameplay. The workshop will include a hands-on session where attendees will work in small groups to brainstorm and develop their own scientific board game ideas on a variety of intriguing topics.
No registration required. The number of workshop participants is limited to 40.
Board game evening starting at 20:00: Board games are a great way to get people chatting. If you enjoy board games and would like to meet other conference participants on the day of arrival, just drop by. You can bring your favourite game with you, but we also have a large selection of games available.
