Thinking – Project Day

The idea of ​​the Project Day, Thinking, grew out of the teachers’ desire to convey aspects of thinking to the students that go beyond the curriculum and are particularly important to the teachers. On this day, learners from grades 5 to 11 had the opportunity to choose from a variety of activities in which they were most interested. There were a variety of activities to choose from: a scavenger hunt on the school campus, an escape room in the science lab, the construction of spaghetti buildings, a workshop on the Fibonacci Sequence in the music room, or thought experiments on possible alternative historical developments, and many more from the teachers, selected, developed and prepared with love and dedication.

What the various offers have in common, however, is that they train the human ability to recognize problems, evaluate them and come up with solutions. What the activities also had in common is the great joy with which the learners and teachers perceived the creative and solution-oriented perspectives on thinking that they offered.
We would like to thank everyone who was involved in the Project Day and we look forward to doing it again during the next school year!
