Do you want to experience a Mars mission from take-off to landing? How about carrying out experiments in microgravity or vacuum, or controlling your own robot? All this and more is possible at the DLR_School_Lab in Bremen – where you can even investigate extraterrestrial matter!

Göttingen

Göttingen

DLR_School_Lab Göttingen

How do aircraft take off? And how can we get them to fly quietly and in the most environmentally friendly way possible? At the DLR_School_Lab in Göttingen, young people can investigate ‘the physics of flight’ – with a little help from wind tunnels and high-speed cameras.

Jena

How do rocket engines work? And what does that have to do with the heating system in your basement? At the DLR_School_Lab in Lampoldshausen/Stuttgart, propulsion and combustion research are the main topics of interest, along with vacuum technology and lightweight structures for new aircraft and vehicles.

Neustrelitz

Neustrelitz

DLR_School_Lab Neustrelitz

Thousands of satellites orbit the Earth. But what are they for, and what orbits do they follow? The experiments at the DLR_School_Lab Neustrelitz shed light on these questions. It is all about communications and navigation – and environmental research from space. One of the many other highlights is the Foucault Pendulum, which demonstrates Earth’s rotation.

Oberpfaffenhofen

Oberpfaffenhofen

DLR_School_Lab Oberpfaffenhofen

Programming robots and driving across Mars, launching water rockets and evaluating satellite images – these are just some of the exciting tasks that await pupils at the DLR_School_Lab in Oberpfaffenhofen. All visitors will be fascinated by the prospect of a tour of the space control centre.

RWTH Aachen

RWTH Aachen

DLR_School_Lab RWTH Aachen

Steer a drone through an oversized ‘doughnut’, explore the energy world of the future and program robots – the DLR_School_Lab RWTH Aachen shows how current high-tech research is actually being applied, while demonstrating that research is fun.

TU Darmstadt

TU Darmstadt

DLR_School_Lab TU Darmstadt

Conduct a satellite mission in a control centre at the DLR_School_Lab TU Darmstadt – like the real thing! And there is more – explore the International Space Station (ISS) with a virtual reality headset, and understand the techniques used for satellite-based remote sensing by experimenting in the ‘virtual sandbox’. The lab also hosts exciting experiments on microgravity and aeronautics research.

DLR_School_Lab TU Dortmund

DLR_School_Lab TU Dortmund

Have you heard of ‘haptic interaction’? Or ‘microcapsules’? These are just two of the many topics at the DLR_School_Lab TU Dortmund. In the student laboratory, which is situated on the university campus, young visitors can play hide-and-seek with a humanoid robot or go on a spacewalk. Sounds exciting? It is!

TU Dresden

TU Dresden

DLR_School_Lab TU Dresden

Energy and mobility – two vital themes for the future and the subject of a multitude of exciting hands-on experiments at the DLR_School_Lab TU Dresden. Pupils are given ‘research assignments’, which help them to quickly understand how the knowledge they have acquired at school can be put into practice to solve real-world challenges.

TU Hamburg

TU Hamburg

DLR_School_Lab TU Hamburg

What determines whether an object floats or sinks in water? No, it is not the weight! And how can an aircraft take off and fly? At the DLR_School_Lab TU Hamburg, pupils have the chance to explore questions related to aviation and shipping – with many amazing experiments and applied mathematics and physics.

Uni Augsburg

Uni Augsburg

DLR_School_Lab Uni Augsburg

Warum können Multicopter und Flugzeuge fliegen? Wie programmiert man einen Roboterarm? Weshalb sollen 3D-Drucker zum Mond geschickt werden? Im DLR_School_Lab Universität Augsburg suchen wir gemeinsam und mit Hilfe von spannenden Experimenten nach Antworten auf diese und viele weitere Fragen.
