| Benedikt Lorbach, Mr and Mrs Plötzing, Tobias Plötzing, Arne Tinneberg and Binia Neuer at the gala evening before the opening of IdeenPark | The entertainment at the gala evening ... | ... had a lot to offer |
 |
 |
 |
| Amongst the exhibitors at IdeenPark in Stuttgart... | ... there were also the researchers of St. Michaels-Gymnasium | Our team of young researchers at IdeenPark: Benedikt Lorbach, Binia Neuer, Eric Plum, Walter Stein, Rainer Linden (Director of the regional contest Düsseldorf, visiting), Meike Spiess and Moritz Plötzing |
 |
 |
 |
| Meike Spiess and Benedikt Lorbach help at the exhibit of the German Museum Bonn in hall 4 | Benedikt explains how carbon nanotubes can be produced in the reaction chamber | Meike tells how she became a national champion in the contest "Jugend forscht" jointly with Benedikt and Moritz for their project about carbon nanotubes |
 |
 |
 |
| Our other team members with their project "Research and invention at the kitchen counter" are in hall 3 | Final preparations to get the kitchen ready | Eggs and chocolate surprise eggs are awaiting the visitors |
 |
 |
 |
| The first visitors have arrived. Eric Plum helps with the design of a "mouse trap car" | Binia is building a "lunar rocket" with the children | First, the children need to free the yellow container from the chololate surprise egg |
 |
 |
 |
| Then they learn how to calculate the x-factor | Now they go to the launch pad | And the first rockets are flying to the moon |
 |
 |
 |
| At the other table, the children design and build an "egg crash helmet" | Moritz helps a young researcher with securing her helmet | Now the egg with its helmet is pulled all the way to the top |
 |
 |
 |
| All the way | To the very top | Everyone is waiting to see ... |
 |
 |
 |
| ... whether the egg will land in the pan without breaking | In the meantime, Walter gives advice to the parents of the young researchers | Lunch break, finally! |
 |
 |
 |
| Afterwards, we continue advising researchers ... | ... or performing on stage | In the evening, everyone has earned a big pizza |
