The school laboratory offers various modules on the topics of energy, the environment and superconductivity, each corresponding to a day of experimentation. Each student has the opportunity to participate in two workshops on one day of the visit. For school classes, 2-3 stations per day are offered, depending on the number of participants, which can be flexibly combined.
Welcome!

KIT School Lab Energy
The KIT School Lab Energy is an authentic place of learning and teaching. It provides insights into current research topics of superconductor technology and energy supply and is characterized by its direct connection to the Institute for Technical Physics.
Our offer is aimed at school classes in grades 10-12/13 as well as student trainees, teacher trainees and teaching staff. In cooperation with the schools, we are happy to support pupils in preparing their seminar papers with our experimental facilities.
The content of the experimental stations is based on the high school curriculum of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg in the subjects physics and NWT.

School Classes
The main offer of the KIT School Lab Energy includes all-day stays of school classes of grade 10-12/13.
The young people experiment by itself in small groups of 2-3 persons at stations and are individually supervised by a student tutor or scientist per station. Each station has four experimental places.
The scope and duration of the programme as well as the individual timetable will be agreed with the teachers in advance during registration. A stay of about 9.00-16.00 o´clock is recommended. Visits lasting several days are also possible.
Currently, seven stations are offered on the topic modules sun, climate, renewable energies and superconductors.
Career Orientation Traineeship
Are you interested in examining superconductors at cool -196 °C? Are you interested in our environment? Do you want to know how we can manage our energy supply in the future? Then you are definitaly right here!
You don't have to be a little Einstein. However, you should bring openness mind and curiosity! If you want to get an impression of what awaits you in our school lab, please follow the Link "Experiments" in the topic.
