One of these projects is Morph3DBot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Morph3DBot is a modular robotics kit that brings hands-on learning to life\u2014ideal for STEM classes, project days, or open workshops. All components can be easily 3D-printed (<a href=\"https:\/\/morph3dbot.de\/#\">\u2192 Link zu den Dateien auf Thingiverse<\/a>) and, thanks to its Arduino compatibility, it opens up countless possibilities for personal projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the Morph3DBot, learning becomes an experience: Students build their own robots during project days, extracurricular clubs, or 5-hour workshops and gain their first hands-on experience with electronics and programming. Teachers can participate in professional development sessions or school-based teacher training programs (<a href=\"https:\/\/morph3dbot.de\/inhalte\">\u2192 SchiLF<\/a>) gain hands-on experience with its use. Collaborations with FabLabs are also possible upon request\u2014for even more creative possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The first prototypes - 2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"547\" src=\"https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-9.png 1000w, https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-9-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-9-768x420.png 768w, https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-9-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">picture of the cube system 2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carolin Schr\u00f6der, Lena Hagenauer and Lukas Hellwig started the project as a team in 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-10.png 1000w, https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-10-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-10-768x425.png 768w, https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-10-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Archive picture from 2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the beginning it looked much simpler and got modified in long working shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"571\" src=\"https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-11-1024x571.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-11-1024x571.png 1024w, https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-11-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-11-768x428.png 768w, https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-11-1536x857.png 1536w, https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-11-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/hrw-fablab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/grafik-11.png 1908w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Version 1.0, the cubes are made of 2D elements, ideal for injection molding.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Morph3DBots were extensively tested in workshops and then adapted to new dice systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Today's status<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project will soon be spun off as a startup and developed into a market-ready and scalable business.<br>There are classroom sets used to teach lower and upper secondary school students at various schools.
