We recently had the pleasure of accompanying Denny, one of our developers, on an exciting trip to the Salzmannschule in Schnepfenthal, Thuringia. As part of an exciting project week organized in cooperation with the DHGE (Duale Hochschule Gera-Eisenach), we worked with a highly motivated 7th-grade class on an extraordinary project: building and programming a self-driving car. 🚘🤖

The students were enthusiastic about assembling the vehicle from a metal construction kit. Working in groups, they not only practiced their motor skills but also learned the fundamentals of mechanics and engineering. Once the basic framework of the car was in place, it was time to program the software that would control it.

Under Denny's expert guidance and supported by the school's teachers, the children immersed themselves in the world of robotics and programming. They learned the basics of programming and immediately put their newly acquired knowledge into practice. Together, they wrote code that made the car drive.

It was impressive to see how committed and curious the young programmers were. Their enthusiasm was contagious and made the project week an exciting experience for everyone involved.

Our visit to the Salzmann School showed us how important it is to inspire children about technology and innovation at an early age. We are grateful to have been part of this exciting project and look forward to further collaborations in the future. 🌟
