Girls' Day at the HSZG

On April 27, schoolgirls from grade 5 onwards can get a taste of atypical careers for girls at the HSZG.

At the nationwide Girls' Day on April 27, 2023, schoolgirls can get a taste of professions that are atypical for girls. Our program for your future day will inspire you: Come by and experience how new technologies contribute to nature and environmental protection. Experience how current energy issues are being addressed and solved by our scientists and students.

We put an end to role stereotypes for "non-gendered" professions. What counts here is what you want! Do what you like!

A mechanical engineer will take care of that!

Johanna would like to tell you about how engineers design machines and systems so that they can work on their own. An important technique here is called modeling, simulation and control engineering.

When: 09:00 - 12:00

Where: Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science / IPM,
            Meeting point: Entrance to Zittau University Library, Hochwaldstraße 12, 02763 Zittau

Electrical engineering - really exciting!

"Who gets to go first?" - often decided by SchnickSchnackSchnuck or by drawing lots - will be diced today. But not in the traditional way, but with an electronic dice. See how a finished circuit board is created from a circuit diagram in a short space of time, assemble it yourself and then it's time to roll the dice! With just a few simple steps, you can build your own cube, which you can then take home with you. Are you curious? Then come along to "Electrical engineering - really exciting!" and get to know the training workshop at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and the basic laboratory.

When: 09:00 - 12:00

Where: Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science / KIA Studies, House Z I, Workshop, Basement 19, Theodor-Körner-Allee 16, 02763 Zittau

Casting key moments!

Do you want to get creative? Would you like to create something new with your friends? We'll show you how to bring the sandpit from the playground into the workshop and what great things you can create when casting. Make your own wrench for your next home project. Please wear clothes that can get dirty and, if possible, refrain from wearing jewelry, watches, etc.

When: 09:00 - 12:30

Where: Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, House Z IVa, Theodor-Körner-Allee 8, 02763 Zittau

Experience material power!

Do you want to know how to test materials and select them for practical use? What can a component withstand under various thermal and chemical influences? We will show you what pure power means. Let yourself be enchanted by the shine of the materials and how loud they are when they break.

When: 09:00 - 12:00

Where: Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, House Z VIIc, Halls 8 to 10, Lausitzer Weg 2, 02763 Zittau

Build your dream house in 3D!

Want to design your own dream home easily and practically? Learn how to do it here! Come along and create digital building models on your PC.

When: 09:00 - 12:00

Where: Faculty of Business Administration and Engineering Management, House Z II, CAD Lab 212.1, Schliebenstraße 21, 02763 Zittau

On the trail of medicinal plants!

From aniseed and devil's claw to cinnamon: the pharmaceutical biotechnology laboratory at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences offers interested students an insight into the wide world of natural remedies.

When: 09:30 - 12:30

Where: Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences/ZIRKON, Building Z VIId, Hall 12, Lausitzer Weg 2, 02763 Zittau

A day as a synthetic chemist!

Purification of solids in organic synthesis. The students can purify benzoic acid by recrystallization and check their success by determining the melting point. Sturdy shoes and long pants are required. Gowns and protective goggles are available.

When: 09:00 - 12:00

Where: Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences, Hall 20, Lausitzer Weg 2, 02763 Zittau
 

Insight into pioneering research on products made from natural fibers!

The Natural Fiber Center at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences is busy researching how we can live and produce with what nature provides in the future and protect our environment in the process. Plants play a central role here. We can use them to generate energy, such as biogas, or produce great products, such as biodegradable disposable tableware or components for trains. Our researchers at the Natural Fiber Center will explain how it all works.
You will also learn what fungi feed on and how we can use their unique abilities in the future as little helpers for recycling purposes and the utilization of otherwise unusable materials. We will also show you what can be achieved with modern machines when sorting plastics in order to reduce the use of crude oil and CO2 emissions in the future.

When: 09:00 - 12:00

Where: Natural Fiber Center LaNDER³, Hochwaldstraße 14, 02763 Zittau

It's your future! You decide!

Our students and researchers will answer all your questions about our research, as well as which subjects they particularly enjoyed at school and what you need to study to do research with us.

Take the plunge and get to know courses of study that you may not even have thought about. True to the motto: male and female professions? Cliché-free career choice now!

Your checklist for Girls' Day at HSZG:

From March, take a look at our offers at girls-day.de/radar and register either online or by phone.

Ask your parents! If they agree, you can take part.

Ask your class teacher if you can get time off. The time off school is available at girls-day .de/maedchen

Come and join us! We look forward to seeing you!
