Supporting the next generation at emsys renewables

Whether it’s the Future Day for the older kids or holiday childcare for the little ones – at emsys, supporting the next generation is a top priority!

On April 3rd, we welcomed 21 students aged 10 to 14 to emsys for Germany’s nationwide Future Day. Under the motto Discovering Renewable Energies, 12 girls and 9 boys gained exciting insights into our world of work. They experimented with photovoltaics, learned the basics of programming, and even took on the challenge of solving power shortages – with curiosity, creativity, and great team spirit.

Shortly afterward, it was time for the younger ones: During the spring break, we once again offered holiday childcare for the children of our employees. For one week, up to 18 children aged 3 to 11 were cared for by two dedicated supervisors. The program included painting Easter eggs, planting sunflowers, making ice cream, launching water-powered rockets – and, of course, plenty of sliding fun during the lunch break!

A particular highlight of this week was a hands-on workshop organized by our colleagues, where the children built small circuits with solar cells and wind turbines. In a playful way, they learned what conditions are needed to generate electricity – and why sun and wind are so important for our future.
