**Street Science 2024: A Weekend of Science and Weather Challenges**
During the first weekend of June, we brought science to the streets at the Munich ZAMANAND Festival with our event, STREET SCIENCE 2024. Despite unexpected challenges, the event was a great success, proving once again that curiosity and the spirit of research can overcome any weather.
**Highlights and Features**
Event highlights included a robot workshop where participants learned to build their own robots and a chemistry lab showcasing amazing reactions. The renewable energy section also attracted many interested visitors eager to learn about the latest developments and technologies.
**Thanks and Looking Ahead**
STREET SCIENCE 2024 vividly demonstrated the vibrancy and diversity of the world of science. Despite the rainy start, the weekend was a complete success, made possible by the dedicated organizers, exhibitors, and enthusiastic visitors. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to the event's success. We look forward to the next edition of STREET SCIENCE in September 2024 and are excited about the scientific discoveries and innovations to come. Stay curious and inspired!
**Rainy Start with Obstacles**
The first day of STREET SCIENCE started under tough conditions. A heavy rainstorm made setting up and beginning the event a real challenge. Nevertheless, visitors bravely arrived with umbrellas and rain gear. Despite the weather, neither exhibitors nor visitors were deterred. Lively discussions and exciting presentations took place under pavilions and umbrellas. Scientists showcased their projects, demonstrating their flexibility and creativity. Improvised solutions and unexpected moments made the rainy day a unique experience.
