Kick-off for the NETZSCH Science Cup student competition
On 1 October 2024, the NETZSCH Science Cup 2024 kick-off ceremony took place on the premises of NETZSCH-Gerätebau GmbH. The theme of the pilot project is ‘Laboratory of the Future’.
The participating schools are:
- Walter-Gropius-Gymnasium Selb
- Luisenburg-Gymnasium Wunsiedel
- Otto-Hahn-Gymnasium Marktredwitz
- FOS Marktredwitz
This competition offers students the unique opportunity to design their vision of a modern laboratory and present it to a jury. Their task is to develop the laboratory of the future, regardless of whether it is a medical laboratory, a contract laboratory or an experimental laboratory. The laboratories at NETZSCH-Gerätebau in Selb serve as the basis.
The students are completely free to choose their own methods and tools. Whether drawings, handicrafts, physical models, 3D animations or written descriptions – everything is allowed!
