The mathematics and science project week of the advanced 8th grade of the Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium Löbau at the Zittau-Görlitz University of Applied Sciences is taking place for the third time this year from September 14 to 18 in Zittau and Görlitz.
The presentations of the projects in the last two years in particular have shown the commitment and quality with which pupils who have just entered Year 8 are able to take their first steps in scientific work.
The pupils in this year's Year 8/5 also demonstrate the potential of this form of support for talented and interested young mathematicians and scientists in their lessons, in their participation in various competitions and overall with their appearance at grammar school. This year, colleagues at the university are offering the following project tasks to the curious pupils:
- "All that glitters is not gold - hard metal coating in a vacuum process"
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering / Institute for Surface Technology (IOT) - "Climate researchers at Zittau Zoo", Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences
- "Investigations into the trophic state of Lake Olbersdorf", Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences
- "Controlling Lego robots with Java code", Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Computer Science
- "Metal brought into shape - 3D technology you can touch", Faculty of Mechanical Engineering /
Mechanical Engineering - "All about the fuel cell", Center for Knowledge and Technology Transfer (ZWT) / Energy Technology Cabinet (ETK)
- "Investigations into discharges and the breakdown behavior of air insulation", Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science / Electrical Engineering and Computer Science '
- "Programming a robot platform with Omniwheels in a labyrinth", Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science / Communications Technology
On September 18, 2015, the students will present the results of their project work from 11.00 a.m. in the AGORA of the Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium Löbau. Afterwards, the best poster and the best presentation will be awarded. This award is also sponsored by the
Association of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences
