Out of the Classroom - Into the lab!

is the theme that invites students and teachers to experiment away from school. Two laboratories offer a wide range of courses and activities. The DLR_School_Lab of the German Aerospace center offers experiments around the physics of flight.

Besides visiting DLR_School_Lab, students living nearby have the opportunity to participate in a group which meets regularly to construct model aircraft. Under the leadership of experts, participants can build and then fly their own models. DLR_School_Lab Goettingen offers advanced courses for teachers, so ideas can be shared about how to give stimulating lessons, and so that the knowledge transfer from the world of research to the classroom can be optimized

The XLAB is located in the center of the natural sciences campus and offers courses in all natural sciences.

Day- and childcare facilities or Kindergardens - Goettingen has numerous possibilities on offer.
