Live from the TV studio: Prof. Christian Franck presents the "Magic Cube"
On 1 November 2020, the new teaching tool "Magic Cube" was introduced in a live presentation from the SRF TV studio during the Digital Days 2020. It was developed jointly by D-ITET, ABB and "mint & pepper" and aims to teach high school students the basics of electrical engineering and awaken their interest in the field.
Supported by Master's student Sandro Baumgartner four high school students solved two modules in the TV studio.
The twelve modules teach the technical basics of electrical engineering using a playful approach. The "Magic Cube" is expected to be used in Swiss schools from February 2021. The modules will be supervised by students from ETH Zurich and trainees from ABB.
