Roll the movie!

Twenty-three 10th-grade students from the Evangelisches Zinzendorf-Gymnasium in Herrnhut filmed in several of the university’s laboratories on Tuesday, March 8, and Wednesday, March 9. Under the guidance of the Saxon Training and Testing Channel in Görlitz (SAEK), the students are producing short video podcasts on the following topics:

• The King of Dyes (Indigo)—or How Do You Dye a Pair of Jeans?
• Inorganic Chemistry: “Conducting Demonstration Experiments Yourself” (Chemistry is when it smokes and stinks and amazes others)
• Physical Effects at High Voltage—High Voltage Facility
• How Does Fog Form? – Thermodynamics of Moist Air
• Sound and Vibrations

After the students familiarized themselves with the topics and locations on Tuesday, they filmed their 30 fellow 11th-grade students and their experiences during their “Try Out College” day on Wednesday.

On Thursday and Friday, the footage from the five camera teams was edited together into several films. The SAEK team assisted the students with this. The goal is to upload the short films to the university’s YouTube channel. There, the video podcasts will then be available at any time, e.g., for classroom instruction and public relations.

On behalf of the HSZG, the following faculties participated:

• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
• Natural and Environmental Sciences

were involved in the project. We would like to extend our

The public screening of the films and an awards ceremony for the participating students, hosted by the Friends of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences e. V., is scheduled for the morning of June 4, during the University Open House in Zittau. The films will then be shown to the public in the Audimax and recognized accordingly.
