Children invented the future

On April 11, 2026, at the spring market in Lichtenfels, young inventors were invited to explore their ideas: In the Archive of the Future, children could develop their own visions for the world of tomorrow. Whether practical everyday aids, exciting machines, or entirely new inventions – there were no limits to their imagination.

The children first sketched their ideas for the future on paper. Then, using artificial intelligence, the drawings were brought to life. Short videos were created from the sketches, showing how the invented ideas might look or function in the future.

All the videos are compiled here.
