Get active yourself in the Math and STEM Workshop and work on topics from the fields of mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology. You will receive support from students and experts who will be on hand with help and advice. You also have the opportunity to use modern technologies, VR tools, creative methods and our innovative learning spaces: from the Immersive LearningLab to the film and podcast studio. Perfect for working on your own STEM projects or creatively implementing school assignments.

You can find the exact date and all the details via the link below.

In the immersive learning workshop, you can immerse yourself in virtual learning worlds and try out various VR applications such as the RWU Talk app, our electrolysis plant or presentation training in VR. This allows you to experience complex or difficult-to-access scenarios realistically and safely. At the same time, you also have the opportunity to develop your own ideas and plan new application scenarios for virtual reality.

You can find the exact date and further information via the link below.

In addition to content such as mathematics, accounting, business plan creation, project management and elements from market research, you will create your own first business plan. Incorporating the theoretical content, you will form a start-up and pitch your business plan to a fictitious investor. This will give you an insight into all relevant process areas of a young company and the business administration course. You will also get to know different focus areas.

Optics, sensor technology and everything to do with physics as well as the development of new technical objects are the subject of the trial course. In addition, students work on an innovation during the specialization phase and present it to a fictitious investor at the end. Project management methods are also used here to work on problem solutions in a structured manner. Young inventors are given space for ideas and are supported in implementing them.

As an industrial engineer, you will acquire skills from different areas and work in the interface management of small and large companies, among other things. You will train this multi-perspective view and the associated communication skills in this focus area of the Talentscanner. It combines the basics of STEM and business administration and demonstrates their special function in practice. Building on familiar skills, such as simple programming knowledge, project-based applications are also applied in a more advanced way.
