Projects for pupils

With the ‘Mechanical Engineering Campus in Dialogue’ project, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering aims to raise awareness of its bachelor's degree programmes in Sustainable Engineering and Mechanical Engineering among secondary school students. 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.

If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Dipl.-Ing. Michelle Pickering (Tel. +49 511 762 19693, e-mail: pickering@maschinenbau.uni-hannover.de).

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.

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.

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.

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

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