The “Engineering for our Life” project, organized by Science on Stage Germany, officially kicked off! 🚀
After initially meeting online, 22 STEM teachers from 15 countries – spanning primary to secondary education – came together at GEA in Düsseldorf from March 27–29.
The kickoff highlight was a visit to the GEA’s Pharma Technology Center in Elsdorf, where participants gained fascinating insights into industrial-scale freeze-drying and the daily work of engineers. A big thank you to the team for the inspiring tour! 🙌
Back at the GEA headquarters, it was time to get hands-on:
👉 How can we integrate engineering thinking into the classroom?
During an intensive workshop phase, four key focus areas emerged, for which teaching materials are now being developed:
💧 Safe Water
🏠 Smart Living
🌾 Food & Agriculture
🧪 Suitable Materials
The cornerstone has been laid – and we’re excited to see what comes next! 🌍✨
A big thank you to the GEA Foundation, the charitable organisation of GEA Group, for supporting this project ❤️
