Ideas Box

Not many young people are aware of how an idea can be turned into a successful product. The steps a company needs to take for this are not included in the general school curriculum and remain a “black box” for students and teachers alike. Yet this knowledge can be key to later career choices.

ThyssenKrupp apprentices show Mr. Labonte how to manufacture the “spring” shelf in the PRODUCE BOX.

That’s why we have developed the Ideas Box – an innovative learning project which shows young people how a company works. In this simulated “company” with its employees, machines and premises, youngsters learn how a concrete product is conceived, designed, produced, sold and enhanced.
