5th Science Camp for Late-bachelor and Master students: Structural Echos (2026)

What does the Science Camp offer?

A hands-on workshop where engineering, digital methods, and creativity meet.

In this Science Camp, you will build small-scale structures and equip them with modern sensing technologies, such as accelerometers, fiber-optic sensors, and laser vibrometers, measure their dynamic response, and transform structural vibrations into data, simulations, visualizations, and sound.

In this Science Camp, you will build small-scale structures and equip them with modern senor technologies, such as accelerometers and fiber-optic sensors, measure their dynamic response (optional: using a laser vibrometer), and transform structural vibrations into data, for visualization and creation of sound.

You will work in a creative workshop atmosphere within a multidisciplinary team, progressing from experimentation to digital abstraction by combining engineering thinking, analysis of data, and creativity.

You will learn how to…

• build and test small-scale engineering structures 
• conduct shaking-table tests with different types of excitations
• measure vibrations using accelerometers, fiber-optic sensors, and laser vibrometers 
• interpret and visualize measurement data with open-source tools 
• create digital twins and run simulations with OpenSees 
• understand key ideas in structural dynamics and structural health monitoring 
• turn measured accelerations into sound through sonification

Who can participate?

Late-bachelor and master students from partner universities with an interest in engineering, sensing, simulation, digital twins, experimental work and interdisciplinary teamwork.
