What does the future hold?
The ninth grade students at Starnberg High School asked themselves this question during their class projects.
They presented the results at the study day on Wednesday in the district office.
Starnberg - At the front of the hall there is a painted canvas - it depicts the different eras from the Cretaceous to modern times and impressively shows two possible future scenarios.
The future – this was the topic that the approximately 95 students in the ninth grade of the Starnberg high school dealt with.
The result was around 30 lectures and videos, which they presented to their classmates and teachers in the district office on Wednesday.
For example, they asked themselves the question: How will renewable energies and artificial intelligence change our future?
The art-loving students Sarah Ried and Katja Weiss were very committed to the project.
“We really wanted to tackle the project and it was nice to work towards something,” says Katja Weiss.
The friends started planning during the Christmas holidays and then met every day for two weeks to implement their ideas on the screen.
In addition to the eras, two images of the future can be seen.
“The first level shows the foreseeable future with the positive and negative effects of technology,” explains Sarah Ried.
The other level of the future cannot be predicted and represents a “prototypical city”.
The students mainly chose the ideas for their future workshop themselves.
German and history teacher Thomas Maier-Bandomer organizes the project, which took place for the first time in 2018, and wants to “promote self-directed learning”.
It is also important to him that the lectures are held in the district office in order to break out of the usual environment and practice presenting.
“It’s nice that the students are taking action themselves.
Self-motivation and team spirit are encouraged, which is particularly important at pubertal age,” says Maier-Bandomer.
Artificial intelligence, comparisons with a past time and the here and now
Instead of art, three guys devoted themselves to a completely different topic: They explained to their listeners how artificial intelligence (AI) works.
To do this, the technology-savvy students trained an AI themselves and fed it 1,000 images from a database during the test phase.
Here the AI correctly recognized 953 images.
In the future, AI would fundamentally change the world of work.
Another group of students agreed on this during their presentation.
Many areas of work have already been eliminated or will be eliminated in the future.
However, the AI has problems making ethical decisions.
For example, a doctor cannot be replaced because he has to make vital decisions, the conclusion is.
Another lecture discussed modern youth compared to the youth of the 1920s.
Today's youth are often accused of being too lazy and lacking motivation.
But the students explained that this accusation had come from every generation and was even widespread in ancient times.
Today's upbringing in particular would differ greatly from the violent upbringing of the past, as would the interests and leisure activities.
The students drew a parallel with the political mood.
In the 2021 federal election, the AfD was voted the strongest force by those under 30 in Saxony-Anhalt.
The former NSDAP was also able to win over a large part of the youth.
The reasons for this are similar: young people's disappointment with the government and the crises of then and now.
Teacher Maier-Bandomer looks back proudly on the projects: “The level of the presentations was great, and the concentration of the students when listening was remarkable.” The presentations reflected the work of the last few weeks well.
“Personally, I found the scientific lectures the most exciting, as I am not very familiar with these areas.”
