Partner Schools

Two students experimenting

We offer students hands-on opportunities that show how exciting science and technology can be. Young people can take a look behind the scenes of research and development. We help with career orientation with our student laboratory, visits to the institute, internships and information events on careers at the institute

Alexander-von-Humboldt Gymnasium (AvH)

... with practical projects such as the Laser AG

In January 2005, FBH and Alexander-von-Humboldt-Gymnasium (AvH) started their scholar partnerschip and sucessfully initiated and run various projects. In close cooperation with FBH scientists, students for example built up and adjusted a helium neon laser and thus directly experience how a laser works. On occasions like "Night of Sciences" the students pass their newly gained knowledge to interested visitors by explaining and demonstrating the laser principle. In addition, each year FBH offers 10 students the opportunity to learn more about basic principles and applications of light and lasers. Tasks within this FBH laser work group are ranging from experiments and measurements up to knowledge transfer of the theoretical background. Further experiments and demonstrators are developed here to illustrate FBH's research.

Lise-Meitner-Schule (LMS)

... with a joint student laboratory, as a vocational school for the microtechnology trainees and as a founding member of the Student Research Center at LMS.
