Giving science a special stage: that’s what the makers of Germany’s somewhat different kind of science festival “Children of Doom” are trying to do. The event took place in Berlin for the first time in May 2019.

At the premiere, there were various lectures and interactive formats on topics including artificial intelligence, robotics, genetic engineering, climate research and geosciences, accompanied by art installations, music and workshops in an interesting setting – and all with a steampunk flair. The theme focused on doomsday scenarios, which were to be countered or debunked in an entertaining way using solid scientific expertise.
