We kicked off our joint STEM Week with a central kick-off event at the university's Campus Center.

Foyer: Travelling exhibition of the Mathematikum "Mathematics at your fingertips" and information and advice offered by the STEM departments on courses of study at the university.

Lecture hall 1: Introductory lecture, "Mathematik zum Anfassen", Prof. Dr. Albrecht Beutelspacher, initiator and director of the Mathematikum Gießen, musically accompanied by the Volkswagen Sound Orchestra.

Prof. Dr. Albrecht Beutelspacher, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Giessen from 1988 to 2018, is the initiator and director of the Mathematikum in Giessen. The Mathematikum in Giessen is the world's first mathematical hands-on museum with more than 150 exhibits for visitors of all ages and educational backgrounds. Prof. Beutelspacher lives for mathematics. And he loves even more to bring it closer to others. He writes columns and books, and creates television programs.

The band Volkswagen-Soundorchestra was founded in 2018 and consists of musicians who are VW employees from very different areas. They interpret the modules composed by Detlef Landeck and give free rein to their creative improvisational skills within the framework of the "Conducted Improvisation Concept". Percussion grooves elicited from VW vehicle components are just as much a part of the Volkswagen Sound Orchestra as machine sounds from the production halls of Volkswagen Kassel.
