The Miesbach high school took part in the "Jugend forscht" and "Schüler experimentieren" competitions this year and made considerable contributions to the race.

One entry even made it into the state competition, but was unable to qualify for the federal decision as the runner-up.

In the regional competition, which was held in mid-February by the Technical University of Rosenheim and the regional business association Seeoner Kreis, the pupils from the Miesbach high school achieved good rankings with interesting topics.

What particularly impresses the responsible supervising teachers Simon Schmuck and Thomas Weingand: Despite the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the students did not let themselves be deterred from experimenting.

They skilfully presented their results to the respective expert jury from home on the online platform Veertly.

In the mathematics/computer science category, Tassilo Mall (9+b) secured first place in "Jugend forscht" with the topic "Car 2 X Communication".

It is about the communication of autonomously driving vehicles with the environment, represented with a computer simulation of a traffic light-controlled intersection.

An impressive piece of work that also came out on top in the state competition – but only in second place.

The qualification for the federal decision was just missed.
