Three learning lab offerings come to schools on four dates for 90 minutes each. There, students participate in their own STEM working groups over an entire school semester.<\/p>\n<p>RWTH Aachen University is currently cooperating with twelve secondary schools in Aachen and the surrounding area. Around 250 students from grade 7 onwards take part each year and spend a total of 18 hours working on various STEM topics. For example, they program robots, make pocket warmers, or solder key rings.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, a closing event for the year group was held at RWTH Aachen University for the first time. Students and their families were invited to the campus<\/p>\n<p>. In addition to the certificate ceremony, they were able to explore various learning labs and participate in hands-on activities. \u201cFor many, it was an exciting opportunity to experience the university up close and show their families what they had been working on at Labs on Tour,\u201d says Maria Hinkelmann. The next closing event is planned for July.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cLabs on Tour\u201d project run by RWTH Aachen University has been awarded third place in the \u201cMobile Offerings\u201d category of the \u201cLeLa Award.\u201d The program is aimed at students [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6964,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"c2c_always_allow_admin_comments":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,4,3],"tags":[604,605],"class_list":["post-5253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-allgemein","category-auszeichnungen","category-veranstaltungen","tag-labs-on-tour","tag-lela-preis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6964"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5253"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5253\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5266,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5253\/revisions\/5266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
