Drone show to celebrate KIT's anniversary. Drones write the words “Shaping the future” in the night sky.
"Zukunft gestalten" (Shaping the future) was "written" in the night sky by light drones to mark KIT's big anniversary. The anniversary year is over, but the slogan remains our commitment. We wish you a healthy and successful new year. Stay tuned, see you soon!

Sorry, BS apparently does not play the subtitles we uploaded. :/
What would Santa Claus 🎅 study at KIT? #KITKarlsruhe celebrated the end of its anniversary year with a #ChristmasMarket at Campus South. It served, not least, to answer the question posed at the beginning. But see for yourself (video in German with English subtitles.)
Happy holidays!
