Last week we had the pleasure of welcoming 20 enthusiastic students from Schule Wehntal to our lab for an inspiring school visit, made possible by Gebert Rüf Stiftung! The group got to see our robot in action, observing real-world applications of automation and robotics, and even took part in a hands-on test where they cast plaster themselves. A big thank you to the teachers who joined us Michael Wyssen and Pascal Bucher! It was a fantastic opportunity to ignite curiosity, connect with the next generation of thinkers, and share our passion for technology and creativity. Looking forward to future collaborations! 🚀 #Education #STEM #Robotics #SchoolVisit #CommunityEngagement #GRS #SchuleWehntal #LAYERED
