Ten years of promoting young talent at the Department etit
2026/03/02 by etit, Marjane Choua
From 18 to 20 February 2026, 84 participants from four schools came to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (etit) at Technische Universität Darmstadt to experience electrical engineering in a practical way during the schoolgirls' project days: experimenting, building robots and discovering high voltage – for the tenth time already.
The participants were welcomed at the beginning of the event by Professor Jutta Hanson. After a brief introduction to TU Darmstadt and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, five workshops for different year groups began.
Participating schools:
- Eleonorenschule Darmstadt
- Justus-Liebig-Schule Darmstadt
- Goethe-Gymnasium Bensheim
- Melibokusschule Alsbach-Hähnlein
For ten years, the programme has aimed to inspire young women at an early stage to pursue technical degree courses and to provide them with accessible entry into engineering through hands-on experimentation.
Ten Years of Successful Promotion of Young Talent
With its tenth edition, the Girls’ Project Days mark a decade of successful encouragement of young female talent. The annual programme was initiated by the department’s Equal Opportunities Team and is organised by the Dean’s Office. The continued commitment of the participating subject areas and the strong response from schools demonstrate the value of hands-on formats in supporting study and career orientation.
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology looks forward to welcoming many more enthusiastic young women to TU Darmstadt in the years to come.
