The association wissenswerkstatt Passau e.V., which focuses on "do-it-yourself", turned 10 years old. Our managing director Boris Schneidhuber did not miss the opportunity to attend the anniversary celebration on May 17, 2023 in the conference room of the mk Hotel.
As a sponsoring member, AKE technologies GmbH supports the association, which has set itself the task of bringing children and young people closer to woodworking and metalworking, mechanics, electronics, vehicle technology, programming and robotics in a playful way - and free of charge. On an area of 550 m², children and young people can experience exciting experiments in the former post office building in Passau's Bahnhofstraße and grasp technical phenomena in experiments they carry out themselves.
The Chairman of the Board of wiwe, Gernot Hein, moderated the evening. In addition to the Bavarian Minister of Economic Affairs Hubert Aiwanger, the guests of honor at the tenth anniversary celebration included the Lower Bavarian District President Rainer Haselbeck, the former CEO of the ZF Group and "idea generator of wiwe" Hans-Georg Härter, Managing Director of the Bavarian Metal and Electrical Employers' Associations Dr. Jutta Krogull, Chancellor of the University Dr. Achim Dilling, District Administrator Raimund Kneidinger and Mayor Jürgen Dupper.
According to Gernot Hein, the mission of wiwe is to get children excited about crafts and technology. The Wissenswerkstatt is the ideal addition of practical content to the school curriculum. AKE is proud to be able to support the valuable work of the educational institution and thanks wiwe for the great organization of the anniversary celebration.
