Zukunftstag 2024 @ Wyss Zurich
14-11-2024 – This year, we welcomed over 20 young minds to widen their horizons and insights into the STEM world, with a special focus on robotics and regenerative medicine topics.
For an entire day, in Switzerland, school-going children got a taste of working life by visiting companies and organizations spanning a wide range of industries and disciplines. This day of action is meant to broaden their horizons and perspectives in influencing their future educational and / or career choices.
At Wyss Zurich, we had a full day program on for the group of children we hosted.
Magic Cube Workshop (from mint & pepper)
Wearing the hats of electrical engineers, the kids had to solve concrete tasks to help the people of Elektron. Through this process, they had the opportunity to engage with fundamental topics in the field of electrical engineering.
Biomedical and Robotics Platform
Colleagues from the platform demonstrated to the group how #3DPrinting works and its applications. They also saw the laser cutter in action.
Underwater Robots
Sharing a different perspective of technology, Jonas Wuest and Gallus Kaufmann from our current project, Tethys (aka Tethys Robotics AG) introduced the young minds to the concept of underwater robots.
Soldering - Let's build a robot
Thanks to ETH Zurich's Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering (D-MAVT), the children had the chance to shape and build their own robots! Using soldering irons and other equipment, and with help from supporters from D-MAVT, the children were introduced to new and interesting techniques and tools in the engineering space.
Regenerative Medicine Technologies Platform
For the last workshop of the day, Michael Nägeli and Manuel Nussbaum introduced the group to the world of regenerative medicine and related technologies, presenting a different genre of science.
This year, we were very happy to partner with Life Science Cares Switzerland to share our passion for STEM topics.
