The Engineers of Tomorrow

چکیده
In Germany we have seen a rising concern on lacking in numbers of students in science and engineering in recent years. Technological subjects are often regarded as not attractive by potential students. To address these problems early in the development of the children we offer courses in robotics. These benefit from the attractiveness of robots in popular culture, imposing a very low inhibition threshold. Positive technology experience for the participants of both genders can be created by paying attention to gender-sensitive aspects. By using tool sets like LEGO Mindstorms one can provide hands-on experiences and immediate results, giving the children both opportunities for creativity and a sense of achievement. A wide range of scientific and technological skills can be covered easily by employing this highly interdisciplinary field.
