TecDay brought technology directly into the classroom. Students from the Matura programme, Passerelle and preliminary teaching course took the opportunity to learn about current developments in technology, research and innovation in twelve modules.
The programme impressively demonstrated how broad the world of STEM professions is. The topics ranged from nuclear fusion, cybersecurity and digital construction to crypto markets, cosmetics research, aviation, music programming and nutrition. Each module offered practical insights into research fields and career prospects and showed how closely science is linked to everyday life.
The feedback from the students was consistently positive. "I found it exciting to gain a deeper insight into different areas of research," said one participant. The exchange with the experts and the practice-orientated approach to complex topics was particularly appreciated. "You could ask questions at any time and received competent answers. You learnt a lot of new things and gained a realistic picture of the world of work," said another person.
TecDay emphasised how important technology education and STEM promotion are for the future. It showed that scientific topics not only impart knowledge, but can also arouse curiosity and enthusiasm. In this way, the SATW helps to motivate young adults for careers in technology and science and to strengthen the next generation of skilled workers in the long term.
