They arouse the curiosity of festival guests and ask them questions. Visitors take part in the quiz live via a voting tool - and experience AHA moments together. Curiosity leads to knowledge.
Numerous AHA partner institutions such as Helmholtz Munich, TUM, Fraunhofer and MPG will be represented on the AHA stage.
