Non-School Partners of RWTH Aachen
The zdi Center Antalive
Since its foundation under the title "Experience Applied Natural Sciences and Technology Live" in the spring of 2009, the association has organized a number of block courses, project days, and competitions for students in the secondary level II within the Aachen and Düren region. RWTH Aachen is more and more involved with the center as a partner with services from practice and research in the STEM disciplines, for example with information days and presentations on mathematics, with a compact event on CAD or an orientation internship in chemistry. Both educationLabs "InfoSphere" and "RoboScope" resulted from close cooperation at RWTH Aachen in 2012. Their services are a further important component of the ANTalive program.
eXploregio.net
Learning does not just happen in school! Authentic and historical places of learning can supplement school lessons. They make knowledge come alive, stimulate discovery and further research, and awake children and youth's interest - even over the border: Exploregio links 32 such non-school places of learning for nature, culture, and technology in the Euregio. RWTH Aachen also participates with its diverse services and the RoboScope lab for school students. This network enables collaboration for children and youth from daycare to the upper school levels - with a joint service overview, particular holiday programs, special further education opportunities and the multifunctional eXploregio.mobil - and at the annual learning festivals from exploregio.net.
Science College Overbach
Offering children and youth an ideal learning environment, in which they can conquer the STEM disciplines, mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, and technology with growing interest - that is the goal for the youth and education innovation center "Science College Overbach". A goal, which RWTH welcomes as a technical university and supports in many joint events, e.g. during the holiday academies for natural science during the summer holidays.
