Experience digitalization up close: Students design their 3D twin!
In 2025, the “Digitization Bus” project will promote digital skills among 4,000 students in Lower Austria through interactive offerings.
Experience digitalization up close: Students design their 3D twin!
Digitalization is conquering schools! In an impressive joint project between the House of Digitalization, the Lower Austria Education Directorate and the science department of the Lower Austrian state government, the so-called “Digitization Bus,” students can experience exciting insights into the digital world. Since 2023, around 4,000 children have already benefited from this innovative offer, and a further 30 trips for a total of 1,300 students are planned by the end of June 2025, according to ots.at reported.
This fascinating initiative allows students to travel directly from their schools to the House of Digitalization in Tulln, where they will explore the wonders of digital technology in a 1.5-hour program. Here they learn, among other things, what role data plays in the digital world and can experiment with impressive devices such as 3D printers and VR glasses. The goal? To bring children closer to the digital future and to reduce their fear of contact with technologies, says State Education Councilor Christiane Teschl-Hofmeister.
Experience 3D digitization up close
At the Otto-Hahn-Realschule in Bensberg, students also experienced the world of digitalization up close. As part of a workshop organized by the zdi network MINT Rhein-Berg, they learned how to digitize themselves in 3D. Under the motto “2D photos are lame – we take photos of ourselves in 3D!” The young people took detailed photos of themselves with their cell phones, which were then processed into a 3D model. These digital images were finally brought to life in a 3D printer, creating a fascinating experience for the students rbk-direkt.de reported.
The workshop leaders emphasize the importance of young people engaging with digital technologies. This not only opens up fascinating insights into the 3D world, but also perspectives into future-oriented professional fields. Such innovative educational projects promote interest in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology, and optimally prepare students for the digitalized future.
