Would you like to play dad for a while? Quinn's video game in the Film & Sound study program
What a great game concept: In “Keep Out!”, you play a father who has to rediscover his interest in his son. After an argument, the son has locked himself in his room. As the father, the player navigates through the apartment using point-and-click controls, uncovering numerous clues about his son’s life—and engaging in duels with clay figures.
In the podcast, he explains how he’s developing the game to a professional standard with 17 other students and why he’s celebrating his study program.

Insulation made from hair: cut4all. The startup founded by Nils and Gero
Nils and Gero turn hair clippings from hair salons into a material for sound and energy insulation. The result is sustainable, eco-friendly, hypoallergenic, and cost-effective. The idea came to them while they were in college, since energy-efficient building materials are an important topic in architecture.
