Digital future to touch: Smart week inspires Bamberg-Ost!

These explained the advantages and possibilities of the Smart City program, which aims to increase the quality of life of the Bamberg citizens.

A highlight of the week was the idea of a wide range of projects such as the Bamberg app, the digital twin and the innovative drone project Bakim. The latter aims to collect information about the trees by means of drones and artificial intelligence, which is developed in cooperation with the University of Bamberg.

There were specially tailored workshops for young visitors. Here the children were able to create animated figures with AI or test their manual skills when soldering supporters with LEDs. And less digital-affine visitors were also taken care of: In the generation café, interested parties were able to exchange ideas about digital topics and learn more about the "Fit in the head" format. 

A workshop at the University of Bamberg also highlighted the numerous data protection regulations that apply to digital applications. In a discussion round, the project "Support for People with Dementia" was discussed in order to draw attention to the special needs of this group. A panel discussion aimed at the challenges and opportunities of digital dependence, led by experts in this field.
