How do I find the right profession for me? What opportunities are open to me? What exactly can you do at a university? These are questions that young pupils ask themselves during their career orientation. On 27 April, numerous children and adolescents gained exciting insights into various fields of study and work. Every year, the nationwide campaign day “Girls’\/Boys’Day” sets itself the task of breaking through gender-specific thinking in order to encourage girls and boys in their career choice – far away from stereotypical images of gender roles. The focus is on showing professions in which the respective gender is underrepresented.<\/p>\n

With a total of 480 participants at around 40 institutes and institutions, it was the largest programme our university has offered to date. A broad and varied programme<\/a> was put together for the participating pupils. In the Cluster of Excellence SE\u00b2A – Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Aviation, the girls learned about aircraft engines and flight simulators. They also conducted their own experiments in a wind tunnel and gained an insight into the experimental work of the Institute for Fluid Mechanics.<\/p>\n

Exciting insights<\/h3>\n

For the boys, there were, among other things, exciting insights into the production of medicines at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmaceutics. At the Institute for German Studies, the 5th to 7th grade pupils were allowed to experiment with literature and media in the literature lab. In this way, they learned more about the profession of literary scholars and discovered that it is not only about reading. At the Institute for Educational Sciences, the pupils created a questionnaire and conducted surveys with students, such as “How does one become a good teacher?”. In the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences, boys and girls from grades 8 to 10 competed together in small groups in a bridge-building challenge. The goal was to build bridges out of paper that would impress in terms of load-bearing capacity, resource conservation and design. A good combination of an offer from two degree programmes, one of which has a high proportion of men and the other of which has a high proportion of women.<\/p>\n

A total of 315 girls and 160 boys from school years 5 to 10 took part in the Future Day 2023<\/a> at TU Braunschweig. The children and adolescents of different age groups were given the opportunity to get to know new professions and thus broaden the still strongly gender-specific spectrum of their career choice.<\/p>\n

The “Girls’\/Boys’Day” has taken place annually since 2001 as a nationwide day of action and supports the “Initiative Klischeefrei”. The initiative advocates gender-sensitive career orientation and is managed by the Federal Coordination Office. At TU Braunschweig, the Future Day is organised by the Equal Opportunity Office<\/a> in cooperation with the central facilities and institutes.<\/p>\n
