The chess club offers students the opportunity to learn the rules of chess, train and, above all, play.
The chess group is aimed at both beginners and advanced players.School paramedic AGDo you want to become a school paramedic? In this group you will be specifically prepared to be accepted into our team next school year. With us you will learn how to save yourself and others from dangerous situations. As a team, we apply bandages and practice the stable side position,  – you can find out what that is in the AG. We cover how to make an emergency call and how to care for injured people while we wait for emergency services.

What should you bring with you? You should be reliable and not forget your services. You should have good grades in school. Why? If you are called, you must be able to independently catch up on the missed lesson material at home. You should also enjoy dealing with people and be able to have a calming effect on them.  A certain sense of order is also important, otherwise no one will find the important things in the medical room.School TVBecome part of something very special: become part of the founding editorial team of school TV, as ESG-TV. How do I rotate? What am I shooting with? How do I edit a film? What are good topics? Who can I shoot, what should I take into account? The students learn all of this in the group. The aim should be to make the students enjoy filmmaking and to provide them with a basic level of media competence (right to their own image, for example). Ideally, this and subsequent working groups will develop into a real school TV channel.Animal Identification AG (Taxonomy AG)On our earth we live together with many different animals.

We learn how to organize the large number of different animal species into animal groups according to characteristics (e.g. animals with 6 legs = insects), how to identify animals and name them with their species name. At the end of this working group, we are true experts in recognizing and identifying animals in our homeland.robotDo you enjoy technology, robots and computers?
