STEM education as driver of innovation

CADFEM assumes social responsibility to help consolidate Germany as a successful economic and innovation location. We create motivation for considering the broadest possible career orientation. A varied range of activities helps inform children and teachers, parents and companies, of how modern simulation methods in education and extracurricular activities can help to foster an interest in physics and technology.

More youth and school programs

More STEM education is a central aspect for understanding and shaping the world as well as for enjoying life.
In other words: STEM knowledge is a modern form of enlightenment.

Harald Fisch, Managing Director MINT Zukunft e.V.

A sought-after profession

At a Girls’ Day or STEM Day, you can try everything out by yourself. For schools, we offer lectures or a simulation workshop for practical career orientation.

Discover hands-on activities

CAD and simulation projects

If you love technology and have a real desire to help young people to visualize physics by using innovative simulation methods, then pass on your enthusiasm.

Grasp practice-oriented ideas

Talent take-off

Young researchers with ideas meet engineers with practical experience. Together, we’ll find out what simulation can do. A scholarship is available for the best ideas.

Career aspiration? With simulation!

STEM jobs are anything but dull. On Girls’ Day and STEM-Day at CADFEM we open our doors: you can try out experiments and engineering simulations for yourself. Besides, we offer class workshops and lectures for career information to interested schools.

Girls'Day

Restricted to girls

Technology is just for the boys? Not at all! Why not give it a try?

STEM Day

For girls & boys

Mixed teams are the most successful, and that goes for us too.

Job orientation

Offers for schools

Practical presentation of study and career paths for STEM professions.

Discover the fascinating world of engineers

STEM affiliate program for schools

Achieve more together: As a STEM partner for CAD, modeling and simulation, we support all STEM friendly schools, student and youth research centers, and also students labs with consultation, technical support and the organization of events. Our network is complemented by simulation experts who volunteer as ambassadors for simulation and share their experience with children and youth.

What teachers and students are saying

Michael Link
Zentralgewerbeschule Buchen
The hands-on workshop with CADFEM really helped to give us an insight into the everyday development tasks of a simulation engineer.

Katharina .
Girls' Day participants
We were able to work with expert software for engineers. We simulated the vibration of the air column in an Alpine horn and were able to hear the sound on a real Alpine horn. As I play an instrument myself, the combination of testing and simulation was really exciting.

Wolfgang Guggenberger
Mentor in physics, Humboldt-Gymnasium Vaterstetten
I lead a project seminar called ‘Formula 1 at school’ for students in the 11th and 12th grades. ANSYS Discovery gives young people the ability to independently test and improve their vehicle designs with aerodynamic simulation. During school holidays, they succeeded in reducing the aerodynamic resistance of the model by around a third.

Jana Wiedenmann
Student
In the ‘Jugend forscht’ project, I am developing a water rocket that is to be fired 600 meters into the air under high pressure. I haven’t had any previous experience of simulation. I attended a seminar which allowed me to get to grips with the software really quickly; my questions were answered by the CADFEM team with total commitment. I could identify well with their motivation and love of the job.

Dagmar Feller
Physics teacher
CADFEM has been superbly supporting our school for several years in the design of technology-oriented project seminars with high practical relevance. This has already prompted some students to opt for a STEM course after graduation.

Sponsoring member of MINT Zukunft e.V.

The association MINT Zukunft e.V. has committed to demonstrating to girls and boys the different perspectives in natural and computer sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at a young age. As part of its social commitment, CADFEM therefore supports students in gaining early, multifaceted insights into the exciting world of simulation and in considering a professional future in the technical environment.

Are you taking care for important future topics like education for digitalization?

We’d be glad to help you in considering the specific requirements of STEM in your planning.
