“Future STEM” is the topic of this year's Explore Science, which the Klaus Tschira Foundation is hosting in Bremen's Bürgerpark from September 11 to 13, 2025. MARUM is participating with a hands-on station and workshops for schoolchildren and kindergartens.

The deep ocean covers the largest area on our planet. Even at depths of just a few hundred meters, there is complete darkness. The deep sea is the largest habitat on Earth, yet it remains virtually unknown to us. If you want to explore and investigate the fascinating world below, you need technical support at this depth at the latest. This includes, in particular, specially developed remote-controlled diving robots that enable scientists to penetrate even the deepest depths of the ocean.

The MARUM interactive stations show how such robots work. Visitors can try their hand at controlling an underwater vehicle at a control station. At the craft station, they can build their own “hologram projector” for their cell phone. For this purpose, 3D hologram videos on the topic of the deep sea are made available online.
