Girls Day 2022 in presence and digital

In total, five different departments invited students to 14 activities and tours on campus. At the Holländischer Platz site, the schoolgirls gained an insight into the working life of an IT specialist, worked with concrete and mortar in the laboratory of the official materials testing institute and visited the traffic route construction laboratory of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering or learned how to make temperatures visible (Department of Mechanical Engineering). At the Department of Electrical Engineering/Computer Science at the Wilhelmshöher Allee site, the topics were programming, computer science, and hydrogen and regenerative energies. The Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the AVZ in Oberzwehren also offered practical activities, for example with "Magic of Chemistry" or a cotton candy machine, as well as an excursion into animal and plant diversity.

16 girls took part in the digital workshops offered in parallel and learned what a smart flower pot can do (Institute of Drive and Vehicle Technology) or explored the electromagnetic spectrum (Microwave Electronics Department).

Girls Day is a nationwide career orientation day for girls from the 5th grade onwards on which they gain insight into occupational fields that girls rarely consider in the process of career orientation. As a university, the University of Kassel shows how interesting and exciting work in scientific and technical fields can be at Girls' Future Day in laboratories, offices and workshops.
