The centre of the workshop is to strengthen repair knowledge and skills using the example of bicycles.

You should lose any inhibitions about minor repairs and acquire the necessary skills for the care and maintenance of bicycles. To this end, you will familiarise yourself with common bicycles and the names of the individual components as well as the tools required for bicycle repairs. You can then put what you have learnt into practice and work on discarded bicycles in small groups.

You also have the opportunity to bring your own bike to the workshop so that you can carry out maintenance and servicing work on it if necessary.

Furthermore, with the help of various media and our support, you will learn how to repair tyres, check lighting systems and adjust brakes. The aim of the event is to show you that a functioning bicycle workshop at a school requires much less than you might think.

A change of perspective - upcycling from a different point of view.

Using methods of aesthetic research and the design process, a change of perspective on our designed environment is worked on in action-orientated exercises. The initial focus is on aesthetic learning, which builds on individual experiential knowledge and perceptual sensitivity, before reflection and cognitive categorisation of the aesthetic experience follows in the next phase. In the creative process (design process), new possibilities for action are discovered and turned into models or small objects in the sense of "upcycling". Searching and finding as a positive learning experience strengthens the learner's self-efficacy and develops the desired design skills for social change. This learning path begins with the first step of taking a closer look at our environment and things. ("Making the familiar unfamiliar." - H. Rumpf)

Give old clothes a new shine - and save them from being thrown away?

This workshop introduces you to the technique of screen printing. The various stages of screen printing will be introduced and put into practice together:
Screen coating | motif design | screen exposure & development | textile printing

Important: This workshop consists of two parts, both of which must be attended. You should also bring your own items of clothing for printing.

Broken cables, a broken display, a constantly slowing operating system - almost everyone is familiar with the problem of a defective mobile phone that doesn't really belong in the bin.

In this workshop, defective mobile phones are dismantled into individual parts and repaired. In addition, old smartphones are brought up to date with the latest software and customised using custom ROMs. A specially developed documentation table is used to reflect on which individual "lines of thought" or even "educational processes" are triggered during the repair. This form of documentation is based on the principle of duality reconstruction and supports the understanding of the sum and the whole by knowing and scrutinising the individual parts.

Say goodbye to dependence on spare parts procurement - devices are often thrown away because plastic parts such as gears, buttons or switches that only cost a few cents are broken and cannot be replaced. In this workshop, we will use an example to demonstrate the process of repair with the 3D printer, from the 3D file from the CAD programme to material selection and printing.

The development and operation of Computing Science systems (computer networks, smart homes, apps, etc.) can lead to a variety of problem situations that require computer science repair activities.

The workshop will present some teaching ideas in this regard and give participants the opportunity to try them out.

Almost everyone uses them, most of them several times a day: despite this, we often don't know how our smartphones actually work - let alone what they look like on the inside and what the individual components are made of.

How is a smartphone made to vibrate? How many layers does its screen consist of? Which metals and rare earths are used in the device, and why exactly are they used? Why are most mobile devices manufactured in Asia? The example of small electronics can be used in several subjects - including STEM subjects, of course - but also in economics, geography and ethics, to make many connections understandable. The smartphone is vivid and realistic for the students - and of course for the teachers too.
