Technology accompanies us throughout our everyday lives. Whether it's a bicycle, a vacuum robot or a construction crane, our lives would be unimaginable without technical solutions. In the future, the influence of technology on everyday life will increase even more.
To develop this technology, our society will continue to rely on new engineers in the future. The good news is that those budding engineers are sitting in classrooms today. They just need to be excited about this challenging subject area.

Task:

Your task is to develop a teaching-learning unit that guides children and young people in a playful way to deal creatively with technology. The didactic-reduced way of thinking about engineering should be conveyed and a sustainable interest for further technical projects should be aroused. In designing the teaching-learning unit, they have a great deal of freedom with regard to the technical systems and learning materials considered, e.g. fischertechnik. If you have any questions, problems or ideas, we will be there to support you.
The practical testing of the unit is the highlight of the work phase. You will experience first-hand how your theoretical concepts can finally look and work in practice.

Profile:

• Students of technical subjects, especially teaching NwT, physics or engineering pedagogy.
• Particular creativity and motivational ability
• Pleasure in practical activities
