Fascination Electrical Engineering
On 14 March 15 ETH students and apprentices from ABB were trained in a workshop at Wyss Center Zurich to become “Magic Cube” coaches in high schools. Magic Cube is a teaching tool developed by D-ITET, ABB and mint & pepper. It was introduced in fall 2020, and recently all twelve modules have been successfully completed.
Based on current teaching and learning research, the "Magic Cube" uses a playful approach to teach junior high and high school students the basics of electrical engineering and awaken their interest in electrical engineering and information technology.
Impressions

The "cargo port" module requires some technical as well as manual skills.
