School Information:
Matthes-Enderlein-Gymnasium Zwoenitz
Der Name der Schule ist „Matthes-Enderlein-Gymnasium, sie wurde 1975, in der damaligen DDR gegründet. Der Gründungsname war Friedrich-Engels Polytechnische Oberschule. Ab 1992 wurde sie als Gymnasium gefuehrt.
In den Jahren 2002 und 2003 wurde die Schule renoviert und 2008 kamen naturwissenschaftliche Raeume und moderne Raeume für Informationstechnologie dazu.
Jetzt lernen 670 Schueler und lehren 60 Lehrer. Unterrichtet werden 2 unterschiedliche Profile, zum einen das wissenschaftliche Profil und zum anderen ein sprachliches Profil mit einer dritten auslaendischen Sprache.
Neben Englisch als erste Fremdsprache werden noch Latein, Franzoesisch und Russisch gelehrt.
Folgende Lernbereiche werden im naturwissenschaftlichen Profil unterrichtet:
Klasse 8: Optik, Gesundheitserziehung, Erdatmosphaere, Wasser
Klasse 9: Licht und Farben, Kommunikation, Boden
Klasse 10: Messen, Steuern, Regeln; Bionik, Astronomische Beobachtungen
Die Schule ist ein Gymnasium mit naturwissenschaftlichem und sprachlichem Profil. Dadurch ist es moeglich, die Vorgäaege aller Aktivitaet im Zusammenhang mit dem ISS Kontakt in den Unterricht der 8., 9. Und 10. Klasse
zu integrieren.
Raumfahrt insbesondere das Projekt ISS, Atmosphaere und die internationale Zusammenarbeit werden zum Unterrichtsstoff. Die Schueler im sprachlichen Profil erhalten mit der Vorbereitung und Durchfuehrung des Kontaktes zur ISS,
die Moeglichkeit ihr erlerntes Wissen auszubauen und anzuwenden.
Das Matthes-Enderlein-Gymnasium biete im Rahmen des Ganztagsangebotes ein vielfaeltiges Betaetigungsfeld im naturwissenschaftlichen Bereich:

Matthes-Enderlein-Gymnasium Zwoenitz
The school named „Matthes-Enderlein -Gymnasium was founded in 1975 (in socialist GDR times) as a general school named „Friedrich Engels", then it became a secondary school from 1992 onwards. In 2002/2003 the school was refurbished and in 2008 the rooms for natural sciences and information science were modernized.
At the moment the school has 670 students and 60 teachers. Pupils are taught in two different profiles,the advanced scientific and the advanced linguistic (teaching a third foreign language) profiles.
English is the first foreign language and students can then choose Latin, French or Russian.
In grade 8 the scientific profile teaches a lot of different fields: optics, health, about the earth´s atmosphere or water. In grade 9 it comes to learning about light, colors, communication and issues about
the earth. In grade 10 pupils are taught about measurements, different operations and regulations, bionics and astronomy.
As the school is a secondary school with focus on sciences and languages it is possible to integrate all classes of those grades into activities concerning contacts to the ISS:
Students will broaden their horizons and acquire more knowledge during the preparations and the actual contact with the ISS:
Our schools offers a variety of full-day-provision in different fields of sciences, such as a course for achieving a HAM radio license, construction of electronic circuits in the area of telecommunication and networks, meteorology, aerology, climatology, sciences about earth and space, radio astronomy and electronics, sensor technology, microcontrollers and robotics, esp. opening and operating an amateur radio club for short wave and VHF/UHF and basics of the manufacturing of electronic assemblies.
Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium Kaiserslautern
Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium is a place for teaching and learning for 1100 students and 90 teachers.
Our school has strong connections at regional, state and even national level. Not only is the school a member of the national MINT-EC-School Network, but also of the TU-Net-MINT of the TU Kaiserslautern. Furthermore, it is part of the MINT-Region-Westpfalz initiative.
As a result, our school has established cooperation with partners such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM, the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering IESE, the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, the TU Kaiserslautern, the renowned software corporation Insiders Technologies and the IT2School project of the Robert Bosch GmbH.
The MINT-profile is a synthesis of our MINT-AG-concept, our MINT-competition-program, computer science education and our IT-concept, which teaches students how to use media based on information technology sensibly and responsibly. All these concepts are integrated into all grades and are available to all students. Some of them, for example the IT-concept, are mandatory.
In 2015, Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium was awarded the 'Arbeitgeberpreis für Bildung' for its concept of digital education.
The MINT-profile is enriched by many of the Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium's projects, such as the 'Project Cloud Walk', revolving around a weather balloon, our marine biology field trips to Elba and the 'Tab-Class', a project in which every student of a class is equipped with a tablet to work with in lessons as well as at home.
In each grade, one of the classes receives bilingual education (English – German) in various subjects. On top of this, there is a wide range of foreign languages which students can learn and put to use during exchange projects.
Together with our large selection of performing arts clubs, including theater and concerts involving music from both classical and modern genres, the sports division of our school has a longstanding tradition. Many of our students participate in competitions preparing them for the initiative 'Jugend trainiert für Olympia' ('Youth training for Olympics').
Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium is an officially certified Media Scout and Media Competence school of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station: NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, JAXA, and CSA. 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.
