Bosch goes to school

A classically styled, electrified racing car, a robot and automated vehicles took over the Mátészalkai Esze Tamás Gimnázium (Tamás Esze High School of Mátészalka) thanks to the Bosch Group in Hungary. For the first time, the large corporation operating in Hungary organized a unique interactive open day for secondary school students to bring them closer to the daily life of global automotive development and the latest innovations. Participants were given an insight into the fascinating world of e-biking, electric drive, robots and automated vehicles, as well as the chance to try out the company’s future-oriented developments in practice. The event gave students the chance to get into the shoes of Bosch development engineers and learn about the latest technologies that make transport more efficient and safer. Five hundred young people attended the presentations and workshops at the Bosch open day for secondary schools.

Challenges can be overcome through innovation: failures can bring new opportunities
The Bosch Group in Hungary has long paid special attention to the involvement of young generations and the promotion of their professional development. Part of the company’s strategy is to actively contribute to the development of the Hungarian innovation culture and the training of new generations of engineers, in cooperation with the higher education and secondary school sectors. The extraordinary open day is a unique Bosch initiative aimed at secondary school students, with the aim of giving students who are open to the natural sciences the opportunity to experience international innovation in practice, gain insights into the professions of the future and help them make an informed career choice.

The event was attended by Dr. István Szászi, former student of the Mátészalkai Esze Tamás Gimnázium and head of the Bosch Group in Hungary and the Adriatic region. “At Bosch we believe in young people, because our future is in their hands. Creating a better, more livable and sustainable world requires continuous innovation, which can only be achieved in cooperation with them. I would like to encourage students to dare to dream boldly and to look at any setbacks along the way as new opportunities in their careers. With an ‘against all odds’ attitude, challenges can be overcome, whether it’s to advance professionally or to create new innovations,” he said at the event.

From eBikes to automated cars: mobility at every level at the Bosch open day for secondary schools
Bosch showcased its latest developments in mobility at its open day at the Mátészalkai Esze Tamás Gimnázium. The event was attended by the iconic eTipo electric test racing car equipped with the latest powertrain, a collaboration between Bosch, BME (Budapest University of Technology and Economics) and MouldTech Systems Kft. The students were able to get a first-hand experience of the design and unusual operation of the test bed which is shaped like a vintage Formula 1 racing car. The eTipo is used in international hill-climb events.
Participants also got to explore the popular eBike drives and try out the latest electric bike models to experience the comfort and power of e-drives first-hand.

In addition, models of automated racing cars from the HUMDA Lab gave students an insight into how AI is transforming motorsports, while First Robotics Competition’s racing robot gave them a glimpse into how robots can be operated, controlled and programmed.

How the vehicles of the future are taught
At the open day, Bosch experts also demonstrated how they teach the cars of the future to drive at the company’s Budapest Engineering Center: the students were able to learn about the latest measurement techniques in the presented test vehicle. And last but not least, participants were given an insight into the “secret workshop” of automotive development, with details of X-ray imaging, liquid penetration and optical microscopy being revealed in the mobile laboratory set up at the event.
