Projects for pupils

© Max Kesberger

Below you will find events and projects organised by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering that can get national and international school students interested in technology and science at an early stage and in the long term and also provide an insight into the wide range of courses offered by our faculty. The offers are divided into projects that we organise on your premises and those that take place on our premises. There is also a special section for international students.

We are coming to you

  • Mechanical Engineering Campus in dialogue

    With the ‘Mechanical Engineering Campus in Dialogue’ project, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering would like to draw the attention of female 11th and 12th grade students to its Bachelor's degree programmes in Sustainable Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. In addition to presenting the degree programmes themselves, the focus is also on life as a student.

    The project is designed in such a way that students visit the respective classes in person to present the degree programmes and talk about life as a student. The direct contact offers enough space for a relaxed exchange in which questions can be answered.

    The project should be seen as an initiative from which both sides - pupils and students - benefit. The added value for the students lies in the fact that they can have the project recognised for their studies. Participation is free of charge for the schools. Time slots can be arranged individually.

    The visit to the schools is also seen as an opportunity to increase the diversity of the future generation of students and to promote access for all genders.

  • LeibnizLAB: Offer of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering

    LeibnizLAB is an initiative of Leibniz Universität Hannover that brings exciting scientific experiments from the STEM subjects directly into the classroom and encourages pupils to experiment independently. The experiments themselves are carried out under the guidance of students and cover a variety of topics.

    The aim of the LeibnizLAB is to get pupils interested in science and technology, to familiarise them with scientific work and to make scientific phenomena tangible and accessible.

    The LeibnizLAB complements regular lessons perfectly and is ideal for project weeks or similar events as part of the school curriculum. The free programme is aimed at classes from Year 3 to Year 13.

  • Project/theme days

    Do you have a special topic from the fields of technology, mechanical engineering and engineering and would like to turn it into a project day or perhaps just two hours of experiments? We would be happy to come to your class and research your favourite topics together with you.

We invite you

  • Gauß-AG

    The Gauß-AG offers pupils the opportunity to slip into the role of researchers themselves during the holidays and work on exciting projects in the fields of mathematics, natural sciences and technology.

    Participants work in small groups for a week on specific projects and are supervised by student tutors.

    The Gauß-AG aims to inspire participants to enjoy research and the STEM subjects. Through the practical and independent project work, they can gain an authentic insight into the working methods of researchers and deepen their skills in these areas. It is offered annually during the Easter and autumn holidays.

  • Taster day on the mechanical engineering campus

    Have you always wanted to take a look behind the scenes at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering? What does a lecture theatre look like or what happens in a lecture? Are you also curious to visit the cafeteria or take a look inside a scientific laboratory? Then come and visit us at our new mechanical engineering campus in Garbsen and we will organise a day at the university for you.

  • Workshops

    There is a technical topic that is of burning interest to you. Perhaps you would like to visit an institute or carry out experiments? Then write to us and we will organise a workshop for you, whether for half a day or over three days. We will work with you to put together a personalised plan that is tailored to your wishes.

  • Information evening at the Night of Mechanical Engineering

    Are you interested in our degree programmes and would like to find out more about studying, enrolment and financing options? And what about exams, scholarships, jobs, student grants, etc.? What choices do you have when studying and what about leisure activities? We will be happy to answer all these questions and more at our information evening at the Night of Mechanical Engineering.

  • Information events

    The digital information events on selected degree programmes give you a first impression of what to expect during your studies and how you can continue with a Bachelor's or Master's degree. You can find current events here.

International pupils

  • University taster day

    To help you decide on the right degree programme and the right place to study, come and visit us at the faculty. We will give you an insight into individual institutes. You can talk directly to students from your country about studying in Hannover.

     

  • Study counselling via video chat

    We are also happy to inform you about studying in Hanover via video chat.

  • Visits to German schools

    Visits to German schools in Quito/Ecuador and three schools in Colombia.

     

Further taster and orientation projects

In addition to the programmes offered by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Leibniz University offers other projects for students and teachers.
