Open Lab Evening: If the Internet goes down—what will still connect us?

At the Open Lab evening, participants will look up at the sky together with Rivada Space Networks. The company is developing a satellite-based network and, in doing so, reimagining global connectivity. What role could such an infrastructure in space play in the future?

After a brief introduction, it’s your turn. In small teams, you’ll develop your own future scenarios. What happens if existing infrastructure stops working? What might a future look like in which data travels new paths through space? And what’s needed to ensure that communication remains stable and secure even during crises?

You’ll then present and discuss the scenarios you’ve created together.

An evening for brainstorming, designing, and discussing the infrastructure that connects our world—and what it might look like in the future.

What is an Open Lab evening?

Every Thursday, things get creative at the Lab. You’ll learn methods like Design Thinking and Future Storytelling, try out 3D printers and laser cutters, and get a behind-the-scenes look at Lab projects. There’s something new every week.

Workshop Facilitators
