description	Energy is always expensive and the need increases continuously. Sustainability is important to you and you are curious and enthusiastic about technology? Then build a solar-operated USB charger with us! Together we immerse yourself in the fascinating world of electronics and the used electrical engineering. In addition to building your own USB solar charger for your smartphone, your power bank or Bluetooth box, you also get to know the connection between tension, electricity, performance, efficiency and energy and can then be able to recognize how "good" one Charging is and when electronics sellers tell you nonsense. You also practice dealing with electrical measuring devices and develops a feeling of how much (or how little) the energy that we get through the sun, for example, is actually used. The circuit works according to the same principle of the "large" systems on the roofs of many houses, so that the knowledge gained here is considerably facilitating you to a deeper introduction to the current subject area "Regenerative Energies".

description	Experience science up close! Our day of action invites you to discover the fascinating world of energy and heat technology through exciting experiments and clear demonstrations. Together we explore topics that play a central role not only in lessons but also in practice: 🌊 Energy from water – hydrogen and its properties How can water become a sustainable energy source? Get to know the technology behind electrolysis and fuel cells and experience how hydrogen works as the energy source of the future. Highlight: The spectacular moment when we let it “pop”. 💨 Thick air in the classroom – How do I ventilate properly? Find out how air currents and their distribution in rooms influence our well-being. With practical experiments we show how important correct ventilation is and how to do it correctly. 🔥 Make heat visible With a thermal imaging camera we make the invisible visible: Try out the thermal imaging camera for yourself. This is how we discover weak points and cold spots in buildings together - or whose jacket keeps you warm best 🙂. A fascinating insight into modern building technology and energy efficiency! ❄️ The coldest ice cream and exciting experiments with liquid air We use liquid air to make the best and most expensive ice cream in the entire university - at an incredible -190°C!
