About 24 high school students participated in the digital kick-off event of the new changING program on February 2nd, 2021. For the second time, interested students from the 10th grade onwards have the opportunity to use the resources of the TU Braunschweig to work on their own scientific questions within the SE²A research projects.
The students were first welcomed by Prof. Dr. Rolf Radespiel with an optimistic view into the future. After the presentation of the planned visits to, among others, the Protohaus, the Institute of Acoustics and other institutes, there was the opportunity to meet in small groups on the platform gather.town in a playful atmosphere and to get to know each other.
The program of the Cluster of Excellence SE²A deals with the transfer of knowledge of current scientific questions to pupils in the Braunschweig region. The aim is to give female students in particular the opportunity to deal
with technical issues and to strive for a technical career. ChangING is organized by the researchers Dina Al-Kharabsheh, M.Sc. and Dr. Anne Geese from the Institute for Science Education Research at TU Braunschweig, who carry out the project as part of the SE²A equal opportunity program.
