Summer festival

2022/07/19

After a two-year break due to the Covid pandemic, PtU once again held a summer festival for staff, students and alumni of the institute on July 8, 2022. Under this year's motto “Kerb am PtU”, those present came together in the afternoon in summery weather and enjoyed all kinds of delicacies, cool drinks and homemade salads.

Successfully fortified, teams of students, employees and all other guests then set off to compete on the three specially developed rides at the “Kerb”. The rides combined technologies from the Institute's research areas with classic fairground attractions in a fun way and provided great fun for those present. Those who wanted to be at the top of the points table had to combine team spirit, precision and skill. In “Lukas haut den Lukas”, for example, the team members had to hit a sensory measuring system as precisely as possible with a hammer, while the other two rides, “Pferderennen” and “Cobot-Golf”, depended on the participants' accuracy.

In addition to this competition, which strengthened team spirit, the summer festival once again provided an environment in which many conversations between students and staff could develop away from the usual university life. In a relaxed atmosphere, the foundations were laid for one or two student assistant jobs or theses.
