With interactive workshops, exciting guided tours and comprehensive learning materials, we offer the ideal complement to lessons for all age groups. Learning becomes child's play!
Let's trade places. The Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology) goes mobile, visiting schools and other educational institutions with an e-bus that is designed as a maker*space equipped with a 3D printer, laser cutter and much more. We bring everything with us, enabling the pupils to fully focus on tinkering and designing.
Virtual, individual and optimally supervised - the museum has also supplemented its school offerings with interesting online mediations. Here you will find interactive workshop formats on the topics of "digitization" and "media", which are designed live by our mediators.
By launching this research project, the Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology) offers a platform for investigating and co-designing future questions in space exploration.

Workshop Sustainability
How does a generator actually work? And how can wind energy be converted into electrical energy with the help of a generator?
Whether cars, steam locomotives or bicycles – at the Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology), you will find many different vehicles, both ancient and ultra-modern ones!
What does artificial intelligence mean and what is a “neural network”? This workshop opens up the black box and explains how a neural network is created, trained and used.
We travel 1,000 years back in time, where exciting adventures are waiting for the schoolchildren. What was monastic life like in medieval times and how were books and paper produced back then?
Is electric current actually eco-friendly? What kind of electricity is the best? How can we even tell? In this workshop, we take a closer look at the various forms of renewable energy.
The climate on our planet is getting warmer. What are the consequences of this process? What causes these changes? Are we in a “climate crisis”? And if so, what can we do about it?
Global climate change is now affecting our daily lives. Don't look away – face it. That’s the motto! This guided tour provides information on the climate crisis and suggestions on how we can take action.
Learning to code can be easy and fun! In this workshop, you will learn how to control a microcontroller and electronic components using a self-developed programme. Prior experience is not necessary.
Every product is the result of many decisions. Questions such as “How?”, “What?” and “Which materials to use?” are turned into real things – all the time, with major consequences for our planet.
How do people work underground? Together we explore the replica mine, accurate down to the smallest detail, underneath the Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology)!
Just plug it in and it all works. Many everyday items would be useless without electricity! But what was it like in former times? Who did all the work and how did machines function without electricity?
People have always dreamt of flying. Whether airplanes, helicopters or hot-air balloons, at the Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology), we have amazing stories to tell about any flying machine!
What values do young people believe the future should be built on? What do values have to do with the climate crisis? These and other questions will be addressed in the workshop accompanying the Climate. Knowledge. Action! exhibition.
The Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology) has been collecting exciting objects from the world of technology for more than 100 years. This guided tour presents some of the museum’s most valuable treasures and puts you in the mood for your own journey of discovery through the museum.
Electricity in the air! An impressive show at the Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology) takes you on a trip through the world of electricity and current.
Science and research have also always been the domain of women. However, this has often been concealed by historians. Find out more about the discoveries and inventions of these women!
What materials can do: Pedals, a saddle and handlebars come together to form a whole bicycle. But what is each part made of, and how are these components manufactured?
What lies within the objects that surround us every day? Which materials form the foundation of the products we use daily? And what path do these raw materials take – from their extraction from nature, through industrial processing, to the finished object?
Whether newspapers, radio, television, Internet or mobile phones – information and media have become an integral part of our daily lives. But how did people exchange information and news in the past?
Physics, history and entertainment – the guided tour of the collection of musical instruments offers it all. How is sound generated? How does it reach the ear? What is sound? We answer all these questions in a melodious tour.
Thanks to digitalisation, producing your own music is very easy today. Whereas in the past, musicians, sound engineers and expensive equipment were needed, today, some interest, perseverance and a computer are often all it takes to produce your own music.
How does radio work? Who makes radio today and who shaped radio 100 years ago? What was broadcast and who listens/listened to it? Will there still be radio in the future? These questions will be discussed in this dialogue-based tour about the development and use of an auditory technology in the context of social change in Austria.
How many things do we really need? How are they made? And what becomes of them when they lose their value to us? In the workshop on the exhibition More than Recycling, we want to get to the bottom of these questions.
With the goal of enabling sustainable development at an economic, social and environmental level, the United Nations have defined 17 development goals referred to as SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). The TMW (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology) builds bridges between historical objects and current issues regarding sustainable development. This guided tour encourages visitors to think about how technology can contribute to keeping our world liveable for the future.
This online tour connects historical and contemporary objects of the Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology) with the UN’s 17 sustainable development goals. Based on these goals, current issues are addressed while answering the question of whether and to what extent technology helps make the world more sustainable.
Green screen, performance capture and other special effects: Your class will learn about these and the oldest trick in film history in the online workshop and try them out hands-on. The students will find out how effects work in film and how the impossible becomes possible on screen.
Music straight from the socket? How do electronic music and electronic musical instruments work? What distinguishes them from other instruments and how is a sound produced? This interactive tour shows everything that can generate sounds using electricity as well as the technology behind it.

“Ladies and gentlemen who are present and who are not”, Albert Einstein greeted the audience in his speech at the 7th German Radio and Audio Show in 1930. These words alluded to the fact that while not all listeners were physically present, they could still hear his voice over the radio from distant locations.
