Materials, materials technologies
School Lab Materials
A modern world needs modern materials - efficient, intelligent and ecologically compatible. They would be inconceivable without innovative materials and technologies: Mobile phones, vehicles, computers - or even our formula racing car, which students built during their studies in Freiberg!
In the School Lab "Science meets School - Materials and Technologies in Freiberg", pupils become "materials detectives". Here they can explore the world of materials, their production and important material properties. Experiments in real research laboratories illustrate how decisive the microstructure of a material is for its properties, for example. Modern research equipment such as a scanning electron microscope is available for this purpose.
Teachers will find interesting opportunities to supplement and enhance their lessons, especially in maths and science subjects, as well as attractive offers for individual further training.
School competition 2025 "Cardboard in the fast lane"
The development of the automobile has always been closely linked to research into new materials. From the first cars made of heavy steel to modern vehicles made of lightweight aluminium, carbon fibre and high-tech plastics, the automotive industry has constantly evolved. The question that always takes centre stage is: how can materials be made lighter, stronger and more sustainable in order to increase efficiency and performance? The choice of the right materials and their intelligent combination characterise vehicle design and play a decisive role in the mobility of the future.
The Freiberg Cardboard Car Body Cup gives you the chance to take on the role of engineers and designers and construct your own vehicles - from cardboard, paper and other materials that you can find in the blue bin!
