Custom made

Customised

• I like reading books and enjoy unravelling a fascinating technical puzzle together with experts from different disciplines. Customized themes are therefore certainly welcomed, provided the necessary lead time, sources and/or experts are available.

Poetry and science: Latin/Greek & STEM

• Yes, the Roman poets incorporated technical subjects into their literary works. Latin & Greek and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) do not have to exclude each other.
• Can you discover which technical object is incorporated in this love poem 'Vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus' by Catullus?
• And can you solve this ancient mathematical riddle (ancient algebra)?
• Or would you rather solve an ancient word puzzle?

Mobile museum

• Why not turn that unused room into an ancient study room?
• In your library, allow the linear sentences to escape from their two-dimensional cocoon and to unfold themselves into their lifelike replicas in all geometric beauty.

Before and after classical antiquity

• Because scientific knowledge builds on the shoulders of its predecessors, each didactical story is interwoven with the technical knowledge from before and after classical antiquity.
• Points of contact with more recent technology can be incorporated into the didactical story.

Viking period (circa 800–1050 AD)?
