05.11.2024 - Children Uni

On 05.11.2024, we welcomed the 3rd grade from Brockwitz elementary school to our children's university. At this event, which takes place at regular intervals, Prof. Brosius explains forming technology in everyday life to the primary school pupils using various examples.

After a short lecture on the topic in question, we went to our experimental area in the von Mises building. There, the laser and punching machine (TruMatic 1000) was used to cut out the shape of a spoon from sheet metal and engrave the child's name. The children then formed the sheet metal into a finished spoon themselves in the hand spindle press. They were also shown a play figure made from clamping blocks from the 3D printer and explained how to make it by scanning the figure beforehand and then printing it.

Finally, everyone was able to enjoy lunch in the canteen before heading back home to Brockwitz.
