For four years, Rolls-Royce Germany has been supporting us in many ways. In addition to the personal commitment of many employees, we were once again pleased to receive financial support and a cheque of 10,000 Euros at the ILA Berlin. As part of the “We save – we grow – we give” programme, all Rolls-Royce employees worldwide have made this donation possible through savings – and thereby passing on part of their success to our young people!

SINCERE THANKS
also in the name of all young people and the Fliegerwerkstatt team!

Once again a complete success: 14 girls were enthusiastic about craftsmanship and technology.

As part of the 9th Berlin Foundation Week, the Deutsche Telekom Foundation was our guest in the Fliegerwerkstatt. Under the keyword ‘Maker Day – Tinkering and designing with digital media’, creative projects that were supported by the Telekom Foundation presented themselves. The young people of Roobots e.V. were also present. They develop and program their own robots every Saturday in the Fliegerwerkstatt.

The Young Pilots are young people in pilot training who are trained by Thomas Kärger, an experienced long-distance pilot. We are pleased that in the future they will be teaching our teens how to fly in our 737 Full Flight Simulator!

At an initial meeting, the young people exchanged their expectations in addition to their enthusiasm for flying and planned the course of the simulator training.

Julian builds the first own drone. Once all test runs have been completed, the pilot project could give rise to a new project idea.

Roman has researched on the Internet, printed blueprints and collected materials. He wants to build a turbine and introduces his plan to Vincent.

The product range is constantly expanding. From May, the Fliegerwerkstatt will be represented at the flea market “Straße des 17. Juni” in Berlin!

For the Fokker  Triplane Aircraft an original propeller is rebuilt. Since there are no more original drawings, a template must be created, after which the seven layers of wood glued together can be made exactly.

The first project group of the Lotis Oberstufenzentrum has reached its self-imposed goals in four weeks: the construction of a kicker for her classroom as well as a wardrobe made of wood and copper pipes.
In a four-week cycle, the other students of the BQL and welcome classes are going to come as well to the Fliegerwerkstatt to get a practical insight into craft professions.

To get a personal insight, the teaching staff of the Alfred Nobel School has moved their study day to the Fliegerwerkstatt. In this way, all teachers could slip into the role of students for a few hours and gain their own experience building a toolbox.

Our guests from Rolls-Royce Germany provided a happy surprise at our First Flight event on 24th November: They handed us a giant check over two thousand euros! At their own events, they had raised money for the young people of the Fliegerwerkstatt to give support to new projects.

Thank you very much for your dedication!
