Pupils can develop their skills by overcoming their fears and consciously dealing with risks.

Information truck of the metal and electrical industry for grades 8-10 at secondary schools.

Across Germany, a total of ten M+E info trucks provide free information at schools and public institutions about training and career opportunities in the metal and electrical industry. The info trucks offer space for an entire school class, which can be accompanied by their teachers.

Using the latest multimedia applications and illustrative experiment stations, pupils can learn about technical interrelationships at typical M+E workstations. For example, they can produce a workpiece themselves on a CNC milling machine, program an elevator control system or create circuits with an "electricity bench". Up to six visitors can interactively explore a virtual company at the same time using a multi-touch table.

The use is free of charge for the schools. The vehicles come directly to the school and are available during lesson time.

Schools can look forward to a journey of discovery from research, technology and applications to job profiles and hands-on activities on STEM topics. Pupils can slip into the role of researchers themselves through various experiments. The practical experiments are designed to illustrate the importance of technical innovations for everyday life and to inspire enthusiasm for scientific progress.

There are special guided tours and workshops for pupils, teachers and parents. The professions behind the innovations will also be presented.

A visit to the InnoTruck is free of charge.
