The concept of a NerdNite came to life when a Boston scientists had come back to his favorite pub after a lengthy expedition overseas and he was asked what he had experienced. So he made a short presentation with a zippy talk. It was such a successful event that they repeated it regulary. At some point the idea of short presentations on interesting topics at public spots reached New York and spread from there all over the world. It was the third time that the NerdNite took place in Germany and the first one in Erlangen.

As Michael from our Engineering team loves presentations and of course pubs he signed up immediately. He did a short presentation on our team, talked about who we are, what we are doing and even presented some of our more recent technical achievements which were presented at the DFKI in Bremen or the Euromold in Frankfurt as well.

The music between the presentations was provided by [in]anace and fuge! and is available freely on their websites.

Unter dem Motto “Hell yeah, it’s rocket science!” entwickeln wir seit Juni vergangenen Jahres in unserer Freizeit die Komponenten für eine unbemannte Mondmission. Einen Mondrover zu konstruieren ist natürlich eine ziemliche Herausforderung, jedoch eine, die zu bewältigen ist. Das Wichtigste bei einem derartigen Unterfangen ist es, Menschen zu finden, die mit Enthusiasmus und dem richtigen Know-how ihre Aufgaben angehen. Momentan können wir uns in dieser Hinsicht nicht beklagen, denn die Zahl unserer Teammitglieder zeigt, dass es in Deutschland mehr als genug solcher Menschen gibt. Aber wie wird das in Zukunft aussehen, wenn weniger und weniger junge Menschen sich für ein Studium der Ingenieurwissenschaften einschreiben?
