Elise Wärnbring and Hailey Laine solder LED diodes during VERA day junior
approximately 120 middle school children participated in VERA day junior organized by the School of Engineering (JTH) at Jönköping University (JU)
The aim of the day is to open their eyes to technology
to experiment and make things work,” says Elise Wärnbring a sixth grader from Torps school in Bankeryd
This year’s VERA day was held for the first time in School of Engineering's premises in the new Science Park Towers in Jönköping
The children were divided into groups and visited four stations to discover that technology can be both fun
They assembled LED boards and programmed computer games
liquid nitrogen and memory metals where bent metal paperclips and springs regained their original shape in hot water
Senior Lecturer in Materials and Manufacturing – Casting at JTH
thought it was great fun to meet the children during VERA day junior
“They are very interested and there have been some ‘wow effects’ when the children get to see what you can do with different metallic materials
It is an eye opener for many of them and we get positive reactions
I think VERA day junior is rewarding for the children
They get to see what you can do with technology and that it has a lot of potential,” says Jakob Olofsson
The children came from Torpa School in Jönköping and Torps School in Bankeryd
Elise Wärnbring and Hailey Laine from Torps school both thought it was fun to attend the VERA day to try new things and see if it's something they might want to do when they grow up
Both are interested in studying technology or nature at high school
but I would also like to make small inventions
I like tinkering with lights and it's fun to come here and learn things like this too
I will continue my studies after high school in the USA
Stockholm or here in Jönköping,” says Elise Wärnbring
Hailey mentions that she either wants to study in the USA or in Jönköping
Their classmate Levi Arlbrandt thought it was fun to try out new things on the VERA day and see how they work
“It's exciting to learn more about technology and see what happens when you do different things,” he says
The children's teacher Eva Kotz says that it was fully booked when they asked about the VERA day last year and that they were happy to come along this time
She believes that the day can awaken the children's interest in technology and show that it can be both fun and exciting
“The children get a broader picture of what technology is and that you can work with things like this
Then there is no disadvantage that there are cookies and other things here to eat"
