During school holidays, the Scienteens Lab organises one-week long interdisciplinary workshops dedicated to students aged 14-15 and over.

This Scienteens Academy focuses on computer science. Participants discover artificial intelligence (AI), computer vision, large language models and robotics through lab visits and hands-on activities.

During four days, they get to try their hand at creative coding, neural networks and programming robots, with workshops such as “Art & AI”, “Are computers blind?” and “Think, talk and act like a robot”.

They also meet researchers from the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) and the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) of the University of Luxembourg and learn more about their research work on autonomous robots and intelligent automation systems. For example, the participants visit the Automation & Robotics group with its robot dog, the Parallel Computing and Optimisation group and its drones, the LunaLab where moon rovers are tested, the Virtual and Augmented Reality Laboratory and more.

This workshop will take place from 28 to 31 October on Campus Belval. It will be taught in French and English.
