Going Bananas: Controlling Computers with Fruit

About

Small conductive objects from home are welcome for experimenting. It runs in the education room on the Ladestraße, can be joined at any point while it is on and takes about 30 minutes. For children from 8 years, accompanied by an adult, and held in German.
