Start Time: 10:30 | Location: Mozaik Startup Studio, Maršala Tita 54/II | Hosted by: Sara Vanovac

In this hands-on workshop, we will explore the foundations of quantum physics and quantum computing through interactive games. Games that fully run on unitary dynamics have been developed only recently and even tested on quantum computers. By engaging with tools like quantum chess and other quantum-inspired games, participants will use the essential quantum concepts—such as superposition, entanglement, and measurement—and learn how these ideas underpin quantum computing. Participants will also gain a practical introduction to quantum computing’s building blocks, including quantum gates and circuits. Those interested in game design will be shown resources for how to add quantum effects to any game using Unity.

We will conclude the workshop with a quantum chess tournament. Participants are not expected to have previous knowledge of quantum physics, but more advanced material will be available. This workshop could be of particular interest to students interested in game design, cryptography, chess and emerging technologies based on quantum physics as well as anyone interested in computer science and physics more broadly.

Start Time: 12:00 | Location: Steleks Čitaona, Kampus UNSA, Zmaja od Bosne bb | Hosted by: Kenan Kurdić

We live in a culture saturated with spectacles—from reality TV shows and viral TikTok challenges to political leaders who use memes as part of their campaigns.

In this workshop, we'll take a "behind-the-scenes" look and explore why these phenomena are so captivating and how we can harness them for personal branding. We'll examine controversial figures and trends, analyze their strategies, and learn how each of us can create a brand that stands out, is memorable, and inspires others.

This 2.5-hour interactive session will dive into the critical concepts of justice, fairness, transparency, accountability, and efficiency within the context of AI, digital governance, and tech design. Participants will be guided through a 30-minute lecture introducing key ideas, followed by engaging group work to apply these values to real-world tech challenges.

Through practical exercises, participants will explore how human values can be translated into system requirements and technical solutions, building awareness and gaining valuable skills. The workshop concludes with a pitch session, where groups present their solutions and receive feedback.

As the crimson landscape of Mars spread before him, Chinese astronaut Li Wei unbuckled his harness, exhilaration surging through him. His first instinct was to call his wife, Mei, who was likely watching from the lunar base. Activating his holographic wrist communicator, he said, “Mei, I’m here,” eager to share the moment. But as the hologram flickered, a red error message appeared: Connection Lost: Lunar Relay Malfunction.

Back on Earth, a chain reaction was unfolding, sparking power failures that disrupted the lunar satellite network. When Li’s screen finally cleared, Mei’s face appeared, pixelated and faint. “Li, we’ve lost power here. The relay’s down, and it’s all because of a solar storm triggering a demand surge we just couldn’t contain.”

In this workshop, we’ll explore Mei’s story as a lens into the future of resilient, self-healing power systems. We’ll trace the evolution of power system technologies, from traditional grids to the digitalized, autonomous networks of 2100. Through theory, coding exercises, and digital simulations, we’ll dive into how AI, microgrids, trading and self-healing protocols could address challenges posed by extreme events and ensure reliable, adaptive power distribution. What else did Mei say?
