High -tech in the classroom: Coaches in Fellbach make you want technology professions

From Tuesday to Thursday, February 27th to 29th, 2024, interactive workshops with tech coaches take place at the Kolping schools in Fellbach as part of the Coaching4future education program. The tech coaches inform pupils about training and study routes in the MINT disciplines (mathematics, computer science, natural science and technology) and show them exciting technologies to touch and try out. In an experimental workshop, the pupils get to know the importance of natural sciences in criminal hunting and how digitization changes forensics. Coaching4future is supported by the Baden-Württemberg Foundation, the Südwestmetall employers' association and the Baden-Württemberg Regional Directorate of the Federal Employment Agency to support young specialists in their professional orientation.

The interactive lecture by the tech coaches enables students to try out and understand technology. You will be familiarized with current future topics and learn how to participate in the solution of important future tasks in MINT professions. The coaches present videos, experiments and technical exhibits on various subject areas such as machines and robots, living and mobility of the future, as well as medicine, lifestyle and environmental protection.

Another workshop enables students to get to know the basic principles of robotics. With special modules, they build different robots and experience how they learn to “see” or “to run”. This workshop provides insights into the application of robotics and digitization in everyday life and in industry and shows the importance of information technology professions.

The online portal www.coaching4future.de provides further information on the educational program. With the help of the "Karierenavigator" interested test, young people can find out which STEM course or technical apprenticeship is best suited to their strengths and tendencies. In addition, network companies in the program present their training and dual courses in the MINT area.

The event date in Fellbach takes place at the Kolping schools and consists of interactive lectures and workshops. Media representatives are asked to register in advance in order to be able to prepare the editorial visit in the best possible way.
