One of many projects: A 3-dimensional LED-cube

Nobody seems to experience the attractive forces of hard- and software affecting you? No one can understand when you say that sleep is overrated, when you want to "get the freaking thing up and running"? Sure, SOME people do!

Who tinkers is right

Regular talks and workshops

The LABOR (german word for laboratory) serves as a place for creating a community: We develop and use free software. We solder, etch, program microcontrollers and tinker antennas – in short, our aim is making new and useful stuff by the creative use of technology. Our structures are completely dynamic, and what happens inside the LABOR depends on your input! You want to modify and enhance something? Try out some technology and learn and discuss about its possible uses? Or maybe just get to know people who are just like you, crazy about engineering? Don't hesitate to visit us and be part of it – the LABOR will evolve with you.

Learn the rules to know how to break them

And sometimes just chatting

Even more important than hardware and equipment are people who know how all these things work. The Labor has lectures, workshops and discussions about a broad range of technologies. Do not miss the chance to share your particular knowledge with an interested audience – the possibility of organizing and holding a talk is there virtually any time. If there currently is no event, people are tinkering, for themselves or in a team. Continuously sharing knowledge and having a friendly place to work at are the two things that drive everything at the LABOR, and which make it a home for everything that shows you how the world is ticking.

Upcoming dates for interested people

Just come over! The "traffic light" indicator on our main page shows you when the LABOR is open.

-Nobody grasps that you don't want to disclose your consumption habits for a few rebate points? Nobody thinks about what could be done wrong with a central fingerprint database of all EU citizens? Nobody shows any interest for the fact that every single click in the Internet will soon be recorded for years?
+Nobody seems to experience the attractive forces of hard- and software affecting you? No one can understand when you say that sleep is overrated, when you want to "get the freaking thing up and running"? Sure, SOME people do!
-These and other questions like "Could the concept of the 'culture-flatrate' ever possibly work or will our cultural variety die alongside?", "How could open citizen networks be designed in an Internet supportive context?"
-or "Is it possible to do anything useful with a Trusted Platform Module?“ are actively being discussed.

-The Labor is a space where things are being done in the first place: We use and develop free software, we solder, we etch, we program microcontrollers and we build antennas. Our goal is to do new and useful things with technology.

-The LABOR is dynamic. Its structures are not set. It is also up to you what's happening in and with the Labor.
-You want to changesomething or do it better? Do you want to try technology or learn something about its uses? Maybe you just want to meet new people who share your interest? Go ahead! Just come over and participate - the LABOR grows with you!
