TRAILS+ – Traveling Innovation Labs and Services is an already successful and developed education, training and service format which provides free, mobile innovation and entrepreneurship trainings for middle, high and vocational schools in rural regions of Lower Silesia and Eastern Saxony. As a special feature, TRAILS+ provides appropriate spaces and equipment in three redesigned containers directly at schools side right to the place where it is needed. The idea behind is the principle of uncanny places because human creativity is higher out of the personal comfort zone. In detail, the TRAILS+ fleet consists of a) one makerspace (“FabLab“), b) one flexible exhibition, presentation, and co-working space (“IdeaLab“), and c) one investigation and information point (“OrgaLab“) including latest high technology such as virtual reality glasses and programmable Lego©. The provided workshops in the containers are based on well-proofed formats and methods like ideation and brainstorming sessions, design thinking, Blue Ocean strategies, Startup Weekends© or Hackathons.
