Around 15.000 students of different school levels attend this science festival every year. The Science Days are located in Germany’s biggest family park “Europa-Park” in Rust and are organized by Science & Technologie e.V., a non-profit organization. > > > GHSE School > > The questions for the contact come from students of GHSE. GHSE stands for “Gewerbliche und Hauswirtschaftlich-Sozialpflegerische Schulen Emmendingen” in Germany and offers education with a special vocational focus on industry, ecotrophology as well as applied social sciences. The industry-focused part of the school was already founded in 1836 and has since been evolving into a wide variety of educational directions for all sorts of students with all kinds of different talents and interests. Our campus includes a large workshop-area. GHSE offers educational qualification ranging from a “Hauptschulabschluss” (certificate of secondary education) up to the “Abitur” (general qualification for university entrance) and is also a vocational college within the German dual education system. There are currently around 2100 enrolled students at GHSE. 45% of them attend the “Berufsschule” (vocational college). Around 16% are found in the applied social sciences field. The rest is distributed among other areas such as care-giving, information technology, management, mechatronics and several other fields. > > > Students First Names & Questions: > > 1.

The US Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) provide ARISS special support. > > ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on board the International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize youngsters’ interest in science, technology, and learning. > > The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students, teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio.
