Association for Engineering and Natural Sciences Junior
Education Saxony
The non-profit “Verein für Ingenieur- und naturwissenschaftliche Juniorenbil- Contact Person
dung Sachsen (e. V.)” (Association for Engineering and Natural Science Junior Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Maik Gude
Education Saxony), short: juniorIng. Sachsen e. V., was founded in 2009. With Dr.-Ing. Anja Winkler
this association, we want to arouse technical interest among children and Dr.-Ing. Martin Dannemann
young people at an early stage and to inspire them with a lasting enthusiasm
for technology. To this end, we work closely with sponsors of scientific and
cultural events in Saxony. We organize information events on materials and
lightweight topics for daycare centres, schools, vocational schools and society.
In addition, we support educational staff in the age-appropriate teaching of
engineering and natural science issues, e. g. with project days or the super-
vision of school work. To this end, we develop and lend visual aids, such as
demonstration boxes, and conduct experiments suitable for children.
