The six different courses gave young people the opportunity to familiarise themselves with new technologies and gain experience in various areas of STEM subjects - mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology. The hands-on programmes enable pupils to deepen their enthusiasm for robotics, artificial intelligence and virtual reality or, of course, to discover them in the first place. The courses also offer a low-threshold opportunity to test possible study and career prospects.

Fortunately, those who particularly enjoyed the hands-on experience won't have to wait until their studies: many of the pupils took the opportunity to register for the regular course programme of the Bergisches Schul-Technikum, or BeST for short, which is due to start soon.

The cooperation between Wuppertal's Carl-Fuhlrott-Gymnasium and BeST has existed for many years and has already been recognised several times with the zdi seal of quality for outstanding STEM support. This is set to continue in the coming years: Carl-Fuhlrott-Gymnasium attaches great importance to promoting scientific and technical skills and regularly offers its pupils the opportunity to gain practical experience at extracurricular learning centres such as Bergische Universität.
