Coding & makerspace technology
Get your pupils excited about this complex topic in a playful way: e.g. with LEGO WeDo or the Tüftelakademie's mobile makerspace.
Mobile makerspace
With the mobile makerspace, you can implement projects with your pupils on sustainable urban development, the periodic table of elements and many other exciting topics. This promotes an understanding of digital tools and raises pupils' awareness of sustainability. The individual boxes contain the necessary teaching materials and instructions.
Periodic table of the elements (MakeyMakey)
Your pupils research how an element from the periodic table of elements relates to their lives and then prepare their research results with the help of Makey Makey. The result is a large interactive periodic table that plays the pupils' information when touched.

- Introduction to the world of digital tools
- from secondary level 1
Virtual textile factory (CoSpaces)
Your pupils research the globalized textile industry. Topics such as working conditions, resource consumption and production processes are explored. The research results are visualized and presented in a three-dimensional, virtual space using the CoSpaces program.

- Creative introduction to the world of digital tools
- from secondary level 1
Sustainable urban development (Ozobot)
Your pupils use creative techniques to develop proposals for a sustainable urban district. With the help of the Ozobot robots, they take on the perspective of different fictitious city dwellers and thus develop an understanding of their needs in a city. Finally, the pupils design an Ozobot trail through their district of the future.

Supplement for Plastic No Thanks: Touch Board Box (Touch Board)
Your pupils investigate in which everyday situations plastic waste is caused and develop ideas for less plastic consumption. To do this, they collect data in their environment through interviews and observations. They then visualize their findings in an Ozobot decision tree and with the help of touch boards.

LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential
LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential gives students an insight into STEM learning concepts and encourages them to develop language, math, social and emotional skills and create small research projects with their own hands. It follows a step-by-step approach to introduce programming and intelligent hardware. It can be used throughout primary school. The learning units are tailored to the curriculum for years 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 and deal with topics from everyday life. Pupils learn to solve problems and develop solutions using creativity, logic and teamwork.
Lego Education provides a wealth of information for teachers on how best to integrate and implement the learning units in the classroom. During the units, the pupils work with the corresponding app. The learning units are easy to start here and are also sorted by difficulty/class level.
If you do not have access to tablets or PCs at your school, you can also reserve individual iPads or an iPad case from our rental service (if available).
Blue-Bot class set
The Blue-Bot class set consists of six Blue-Bots including charging station. The Blue-Bot can be used as an easy introduction to programming in elementary school. It is either operated using the 7 buttons on the back or the routes are programmed in an app. The Blue-Bot can move forwards and backwards, turn in circles, make 90 degree angles and even talk!
You are welcome to test the Blue-Bot before borrowing it from the media center. In addition to the Blue-Bots, you can also borrow floor mats (see photo) to drive on. We currently have these in a treasure island look and two transparent mats, which can be individually equipped and thus also contain lesson-specific content.
