As a source of inspiration, particularly for moving posters, Josh began collecting works by other designers. This led to the creation of the first exhibition on moving posters for the Weltformat festival in 2016, showcasing a wide range of possibilities and creative expressions. The exhibition struck a chord with audiences and was subsequently showcased at numerous international festivals. Over the next two years, two more exhibitions followed, along with the launch of an online archive to make the collection accessible beyond the physical exhibitions. In 2019, an Instagram channel was added, allowing interested individuals to stay updated with the latest additions, and since 2023, the online archive has been redesigned and is once again accessible online, as a source of inspiration for everyone.

For the past 15 years, the graphic design festival ‘Weltformat’ has been one of the most important events in the Swiss graphic design scene. Every year, design enthusiasts flock to Luzern to participate in workshops, be captivated by exhibitions, and be inspired by lectures. Weltformat has now gained an international reputation, thanks to the int. Newcomer Award, international guest, as well as traveling exhibitions in Russia, France, Netherlands, South Korea, Egypt and China that originated from Weltformat in Luzern. Josh Schaub joined the festival as a volunteer in 2012 during his studies in Luzern. In 2014, he curated his first exhibition, and since 2018, he has been a board member, co-organizer and part of the artistic direction alongside Erich Brechbühl and formerly with Stephanie Cuérel and Raphael Schoen.

Growing up in a household of computer scientists, Josh never actually intended to pursue a career in computer science himself, which is why he chose the path of design. However, his fascination with programming and tinkering could never be completely concealed. In 2018, he then organized the KidsCodeCamp for the first time, together with Zoe Arnold and Rolf Schaub. It was a week-long event in the mountains, held in a old Hotel where everything revolved around robots, algorithms, and coding, involving 65 kids aged 8 to 12. To facilitate this, Josh Schaub spent a year developing the Speedybot. A wooden robot kit, consisting of motors, sensors, and the KidsCodeCamp circuit board. With this kit, the enthusiastic children were able to playfully build and program their own robots. The camp took place for three consecutive years but, unfortunately, fell victim to the COVID-19 pandemic and has since been awaiting a comeback amidst all the other projects.

This project aims to identify and train Youth between the ages of 13 and 16 who show potential in the field of computer science. The project’s goal is to ensure a sustainable and long-term supply of skilled personnel for the industry. Since the project’s started 2015, Josh has been an integral part of the core team. Josh has contributed significantly to the project by developing the Scouting Workshop and numerous other tools and educational materials. These resources are designed to introduce young talents to the concepts of algorithms in a playful manner. The focus is on understanding the concept of programming, as well as recognizing and translating creative and structural processes into sequences of instructions. Josh has also conducted numerous workshops at schools and provided coaching to young individuals at the ICT Campus for five years. For example, coaching the kids for the “Lego World robot Olympics.” His role involves guiding and mentoring the youths, helping them enhance their skills and knowledge in the field of ICT.
