Art, Culture, Society

ZHAW LSFM Choir

Do you like singing? Are you getting bored of only doing this in the shower? Then you are very welcome to join our choir, whether you are a student or an employee.

ESN - Student Exchange

At the ZHAW in Wädenswil there is also an ESN (Erasmus Student Network) branch: We look after domestic and foreign exchange students and support LSFM students who are interested in an exchange semester at another university.

Would you feel like to work in a dynamic team, cultivate relationships, take care of exchange students, hold parties...?

ZHAW Theatre Group - Will you join us?

We practise theatre improvisation, invent from the moment, play and tell whatever comes to mind. We slip into different characters, try things out and let ourselves be surprised. Improvisation promotes your spontaneity and creativity. Without you even noticing it, you will be trained in performance skills and work on your voice and expression.

Students and lecturers with or without theatre experience are welcome!

Drawing and painting

Do you like being creative with pencil, ink and bright colors? Then we can experiment together with pleasure. Without formality, simple and spontaneous we express what we feel at the moment in "a stroke or a spot of color".

Technology

Physical Computing Lab – Sensory - Robotics - Programming in MicroPython and BLOCKY

Are exciting hands-on projects involving context programming, sensory technology, robotics and environmental engineering your thing? This course offers an introduction to Blocky visual programming and MicroPython for the Raspberry-Pi Pico, topics that you will be able to explore individually and in more depth in online e-learning modules after the course. The beginner's course together with the freely available online modules will enable you to enter the world of the "Internet of Things", where you might even find inspiration for a future semester paper, bachelor’s or master’s thesis? The individual course components are structured in two- to three-week blocks, and you are free to choose whether you attend just one or several blocks.

If you attend all three blocks of the Physical Computing course, you will receive a complete Raspberry Pi Pico Kit worth 60.- CHF for free.
