At the Germany-wide “Girls*Day 2022”, interested female students from grades 5-9 were able to gain an insight into the study of mechanical engineering, the potential professional fields of female engineers as well as the research activities at the IUL. 17 participants had registered for the IUL contribution to Girls*Day. The basic manufacturing processes were illustrated, for example, with Lego constructions and a kneading press. The focus was on forming technology, additive manufacturing and material characterization. With the help of various live experiments, some of which could be recreated at home, fundamental concepts such as stress, elasticity and plasticity could be explained and successfully transferred.
