Girls' Day at the HSZG from Year 5 onwards

Here's what we currently have to offer:

• A female mechanical engineer will take care of that!
  Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science / IPM
  Contact: Daniel Fiß
  Johanna would like to tell you a bit about how engineers design machines and systems so that they can operate on their own. An important technique involved here is modeling, simulation, and control engineering.
  

• Electrical Engineering—truly exciting!
  Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science / KIA (sandwich-style) degree course
  Contact: Emilia Herzig
  “Who gets to go first?”—often decided by rock-paper-scissors or a draw—will be settled by rolling the dice today. But not the traditional way—instead, with an electronic die. See how a circuit diagram quickly turns into a finished circuit board, assemble it yourself, and then it’s time to roll the dice! In just a few simple steps, you’ll build your own die, which you can then take home with you. Curious? Then join us for “Electrical Engineering—Truly Exciting!” and get to know the training workshop at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and the fundamentals lab.
  

• Cast some key moments!
  Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
  Contact: Nora Terlunen
  Do you feel like getting creative? Would you like to create something new with your friends? We’ll show you how to bring the sandbox from the playground into the workshop and what amazing things you can create through casting. Make your own wrench for your next home project. Please wear clothes that can get dirty and, if possible, leave jewelry, watches, etc., at home.
  
• Experience the power of materials!
  Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
  Contact: Matthias Herrmann
  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’ll show you what pure power means. Let yourself be enchanted by the brilliance of materials—and hear how loud they are when they break.
  
• Build your dream house in 3D!
  Faculty of Business Administration and Engineering Management
  Contact: Prof. Thomas Worbs
  Want to design your own dream home—it’s easy and hands-on! Here you’ll learn how to do it! Stop by and create digital building models on a computer.
  
• On the Trail of Medicinal Plants!
  Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences / ZIRKON
  Contact: Jennifer Dutschke and Prof. Karin Fester
  From anise to devil’s claw to cinnamon: the Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Lab at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences offers interested high school students a glimpse into the vast world of natural medicinal substances.
  
• A Day as a Synthetic Chemist!
  Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences
  Contact person: Corinna Herrmann
  Purification of solids in organic synthesis. Students can purify benzoic acid by recrystallization and verify the success by determining its melting point. Sturdy shoes and long pants are required. Lab coats and safety goggles are provided.
  
• Gain insight into cutting-edge research on products made from natural fibers!
  LaNDER³ Natural Fiber Center
  Contact: Henriette Uhlig

  At the Natural Fiber Center of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, researchers are working diligently to find ways for us to live and produce using what nature provides while protecting our environment. Plants play a central role in our work. We can use them to generate energy—such as biogas—or to manufacture great products, like biodegradable disposable tableware or train components. Our researchers at the Natural Fiber Center will explain how it all works.
  Along the way, you’ll learn what fungi eat and how we can use their unique abilities in the future to help with recycling and making otherwise unusable materials usable. We’ll also show you what’s possible with modern machines when it comes to sorting plastics, with the goal of reducing petroleum use and CO2 emissions in the future.

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 from school is available at girls-day .de/maedchen

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