Companies are desperately looking for well-trained young people and student numbers in STEM courses are declining; but how can more young people be inspired to take up STEM courses? In a joint project with Cyberforum e.V. and the Karlsruhe City Youth Committee, we are bringing low-threshold, out-of-school STEM offerings to youth centers and childcare facilities to get children and young people between the ages of 10 and 16 excited about technology.

Task:

Development of an offer for children and adolescents between 10 and 16 years of age to learn and get excited about technology in a playful way. Materials such as Fischertechnik and a laser cutter are available for a variety of design options. Subsequently, the offer is carried out with children and adolescents and reflected on with regard to further development possibilities.
