The IdeenExpo offers everyone the opportunity to get a glimpse of research and development, of technology and natural sciences, and to take something home. The hands-on and experience activities at the IdeenExpo attracted several hundred thousand visitors every two years since 2007. This year, the SE²A research institutes at TU Braunschweig presented themselves for the first time with topics relating to the aviation of the future.
Between the 08th of June and 16th of June, pupils had the opportunity to be inspired by experimental stations, workshops and a variety of stage performances.
In the IdeenExpo 2024 production arena, pupils were able to visualise sound with an acoustic camera and explore the inside of a battery, for example. To make airplanes more environmentally friendly, not only does the technology need to be revised, but the design also needs to be adapted. The "Blended Wing Body" was used to show pupils how environmentally friendly technologies change the appearance of an aircraft. A hands-on highlight was the Ozobot Smartie transport competition: the aim was to transport Smarties placed in the centre to the pupils' own storage facility and thus familiarise them with the importance and challenges of coordinating different means of transport in logistics.
SE²A looks back on exciting and successful days: We are pleased to have inspired young people for the topic of 'Aviation of the Future' and to have introduced them our research. We are also pleased that our various exhibits were visited by numerous representatives from politics and science.
