About Us
The Professorship for Learning Sciences and Educational Design Technologies at the Technical University of Munich is dedicated to exploring how creative design technologies can enhance STEM learning in both school and out-of-school settings.

AMC investigates innovative 3D printing methods, materials, and designs to promote sustainability in construction. The AMC Edu:Lab is a mobile learning space that engages youth and the public through tangible 3D-printing experiences with clay. Through this initiative, participants develop digital design skills, learn about transformative and sustainable construction techniques, and foster a sense of belonging in STEM fields.
