Course goals

The course teaches scientific and technical methods, promotes inquiry-based learning, and strengthens creativity.

Course content

Note: This Hector Core Course is currently under development.

The Hector Core Course “Adventure Bionics – from Velcro to Animal Robots” aims to foster children’s interest in technology and natural sciences. Bionics, as an interdisciplinary science, links scientific findings with technical innovations. In this course, children not only learn about bionics theoretically but primarily discover it practically through experiments and small projects. Inquiry-based learning is central, enabling children to explore and apply connections independently.

Why was this course particularly important to you?

Biomimetics combines scientific curiosity with creative problem-solving and gives children an interdisciplinary insight into science and technology. Through researching, experimenting, and designing, they learn to independently tackle complex challenges.
