Technology Begins in Classroom: Successful Educational Project in Tiefenbach

How can you get children excited about technology? The best way is to let them try it out for themselves. At Tiefenbach Elementary School, 14 fourth-grade students were given the opportunity to do just that as part of the “SET – Students Discover Technology” project, initiated by the association Technik für Kinder e. V. (Technology for Children). The aim was not only to understand technology, but also to actually build it themselves.

In six double lessons, the children were given a practical introduction to the world of electronics. Together, they developed an alternating flashing light system, a flashlight, and even a Kojak siren, among other things. In the process, they learned step by step how to use electronic components, tools, and simple circuit diagrams—taught in an age-appropriate and practical manner.

They were supported by dedicated trainees from the company Meyer from Rötz, who passed on their knowledge with great patience and enthusiasm. This direct cooperation between school and company is what makes the project so valuable: technology becomes tangible, understandable, and immediately experienceable.

The project was possible thanks to the support of regional sponsors, including us at Dlubal Software. As a company in the field of engineering software, promoting technical education is particularly important to us. After all, sparking curiosity at an early age lays the foundation for tomorrow's innovation.

The project in Tiefenbach impressively shows how successful promotion of young talent can be achieved when schools, associations, and businesses work together toward a common goal—and when children are given the opportunity to discover technology with their own hands.
