DEMO13 - MobiLaS

MINT Mobility Lab at school

In recent years, there has been a steady decline in the number of students enrolled in STEM programs. This is a trend we want to counteract as a country of inventors. To do this, students need to be inspired by practical examples and interdisciplinary learning in technology and science. Only with this new generation of talent can we shape the mobility and production of the future in our country.

 

Aim

In the MobiLaS project, the existing concepts and demonstrators of student projects are to be transferred to mobile research laboratories. A didactic approach is to be developed and tested to make these laboratories with the demonstrators tangible as STEM projects for students. Together with the student initiatives, the existing mobility concepts will be further developed in a target group-oriented and evidence-based manner for their practical application in applied teaching.

 

Approach

  • Recruiting and involving student initiatives such as Hyperloop in Karlsruhe and the racing team in Stuttgart.
  • Establishing a mobile workshop laboratory with demonstrators based on old prototypes from the student initiatives.
  • Conducting joint practical workshops with students at schools in Stuttgart and Karlsruhe on the theme "Experiencing STEM"

 

Benefit

In the spirit of of sustainability, the unique prototypes of the teams are given a second life in promoting STEM education. This concept can be extended to all student initiatives in the long term, thereby bringing STEM studies closer to schools.
