EWE Schoolmobile

In keeping with the motto "Your energy for tomorrow", EWE Schoolmobiles bring hands-on learning to your school. You and your class can immerse yourselves in the world of renewable energies, engage in discussions, discover new things and tinker with construction kits.

The truck, equipped with mobile workshops that include measuring kits, media and extensive visual aids, pulls up directly at your school. These materials can transform almost any space into a workshop. One class goes through the programme each morning. The EWE team welcomes the class to the Schoolmobile and introduces the project. After you get acquainted, it's time to start tinkering!

The highlight is working with the mobile workshops, which are set up in the school classrooms. There the students get busy on their energy models with soldering irons, drills and screwdrivers. Secondary school students can work on a number of key themes:

• Renewable energies: wind/solar
• Energy conversion
• Saving energy
• CO2 reduction

Finally, pupils use a wind tunnel and other tools to take various measurements in the Schoolmobile. This allows them to test their self-built wind turbines and computer-controlled anemometers. After regular lessons, particularly enthusiastic students can participate in a voluntary afternoon activity where they work for two days to construct a high-tech vehicle in a small group. Their "EWE Buggy" will feature collision detection, a disco mode and remote control. This opportunity serves primarily as career orientation.

Independent, project-based learning is becoming increasingly important in the school curriculum. In close cooperation with the "Education for Technology and Nature" extracurricular learning centre in Wilhelmshaven, we have developed a learning concept that supports this methodology and solidifies the long-term learning of material.

The programme is aimed at grades seven to ten but can be adapted for higher grade levels upon individual agreement. The subjects are particularly relevant for physics, technology, work and labour studies, and economics classes. The Schoolmobile is barrier-free. There is no charge to schools for booking the truck, with the exception of the cost of materials for constructing the energy models.

The 15-metre-long truck requires a large space and a power connection. To ensure that your school has a suitable space for the EWE Schoolmobile, we offer on-site inspections. If your school does not have a suitable parking space, we will find alternative ways to deliver and set up the mobile workshops.
