Supporting the Scientists of Tomorrow: Pupils and Students Discover Electronics

Through diverse programmes and projects, the BMBF is placing emphasis on the support of young students in the field of electronics. The goal is to arouse young people's interest in the field and encourage students to become involved in research. The BMBF supports the competition INVENT a CHIP for students in grades 8 to 13, the university student programme for electric mobility DRIVE-E, and the school competition SolarMobil Deutschland.

    Invent a Chip: The search for young inventors

    The great demand for highly qualified engineers is common knowledge. The school student competition INVENT a CHIP aims to create understanding of and excitement for basic technical research, particularly in the field of microelectronics and information technology. The winning teams presented their projects - chips they had developed and tested - at the VDE Congress "Smart Grid" in Stuttgart in November 2012.

    DRIVE-E - programme to foster young research talent enters a new round

    "We need bold new ideas and a whole lot of creativity to build electric vehicles. We are counting on the students of today who will be the engineers of tomorrow." Speaking in Berlin in 2009, this is how Federal Minister of Research Annette Schavan introduced DRIVE-E, the first comprehensive programme that fosters young research talent in the field of electric mobility. The programme is sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Fraunhofer Society and aims to motivate students of technical subjects at universities and universities of applied sciences to pursue a career in the field of electric mobility. It consists of two modules: the DRIVE-E Academy and the DRIVE-E prize.
