One task, numerous ideas, paths and challenges: In the Physics4mation programme, apprentices from different professions spend months working on a joint project. (Photograph: ETH Zurich / Kilian Kessler) - In a pilot project, apprentices from four different professions in the Department of Physics had to work together to build an interactive exhibition object. They learnt a lot about team building, interdisciplinary work and how to fail productively. "Physics4mation" is now an integral part of the apprenticeship programme. "It's great to be able to do something different from what you're used to!" says trainee physics lab technician Samira. Together with eight other students from the physics department, she was looking forward to the pilot project Physics4mation. Their task: to build an interactive exhibit for the careers fair as a team within three months.
