2.4.4 STEM Talent Support: How to Create Innovative Young Researchers
The DLR School Lab Oberpfaffenhofen, operated by the German Aerospace Center DLR, is a student lab with long-term experience in the field of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) talent support. This session presents typical aerospace-related student research projects, including their basic conception, the practical preparation and implementation, and the development of technological spin-off products: (i) remote sensing from stratospheric balloons, (ii) a demonstration experiment for a satellite navigation system, (iii) and a control unit for performing experiments with water rockets. Furthermore, the workshop offers the opportunity to develop new ideas for innovative student research projects based on the participant’s specific interests.
