Techforce

In TechForce, players work as part of a team of apprentices to develop a futuristic glider. The design and construction of the glider teach them the fundamentals of the working world: electrical engineering, mechanics, hydraulics, control engineering and quality assurance are all essential for successful construction – and for ultimately winning the TechForce race with the glider they have built.

In this way, TechForce provides an entertaining insight into the world of the metal and electrical industries. Young people receive information about different careers and job application tips in a playful way via video trailers. In doing so, they take on various tasks in the role of ‘virtual apprentices’. At the same time, concentration, perseverance, analytical thinking, the ability to make connections and spatial awareness are all necessary to win the game.
