Heute hatten wir einen schönen Technikerlebnisnachmittag und eine Mach-Mit-#Kinderuni der @uni-magdeburg.de im @intakt auf dem Breiten Weg.
Mit im Experimentierangebot waren der #Elektrobaukasten und die kleinen Roboter #Thymio, #Cubetto, #KUBO und #BeeBot.
Vielen Dank an Sina, Hauke von #robOTTO, Bennet und Nils für die Unterstützung!
Um einen niedlichen Roboter ging es an #MINTmachen Station Nr. 3: Der kleine #BeeBot in Form und Farbe einer Biene lässt sich durch Pfeiltasten programmieren und fährt dann eine vorgegeben Strecke ab. Die haben die Kinder dann durch Linien auf einem großen Blatt Papier markiert.
Vielen Dank an Studentin Sina für das Zeigen und Erklären!
Engadget: The Foursquare founder’s new app is an AI-powered ‘DJ’ for neighborhood updates. “Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley has unveiled his latest venture and yes, it’s another location-based social app. But, rather than the check-ins Crowley first popularized more than 15 years ago, ‘BeeBot’ has a very 2025 take on the concept.”
Foursquare’s founder launches a new app that talks to you about your neighborhood
image c/o theverge.comAfter teasing its development last year, Foursquare co-founder Dennis Crowley has now launched BeeBot: an AI-powered social app for iPhones that talks to you about what’s happening nearby. In his blog announcement, Crowley says BeeBot behaves like a “personalized radio DJ” that provides location-based audio updates through your headphones, telling you about what friends are up to, local news, and events occurring in the neighborhood as you walk around. “Audio updates are meant to be short and sweet (a few sentences here and there), tailored to your interests and your social graph, and designed to both inspire and inform you,” Crowley says in the announcement. “The vibe we’re going for is more ‘Waze meets Gossip Girl,’ and less ‘Wikipedia in your ears.’”

Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley is back with "BeeBot," an AI-powered audio DJ for your neighborhood. It's like your AirPods just got a sassy sidekick whispering local updates, powered by LLMs and a TikTok-style algorithm. No more check-ins, just ambient digital gossip. Is this the future of IRL discovery, or just another app yelling at us?
