After an exciting week in Baltimore the Team of TSA Ostwald returned to Germany on the 4th of July. It was the 10th participation in TSA National Conference for our team and as used to it was a very successful one, too.

And here's the team of this year:

René Martin (10), Charlotte Duesmann (10), Laura Pasitka (10), Arne Hainke (11), Nguyen Ngoc Duong (11), Robin Heilmann (11), Firas Souleiman (12), Christian Müller (11), Kai Hainke (11), Marcel Hasselhorst (12) (from left to right) and another teammate is our nice photographer Franziska Scharf (11)


The Team from the Wilhelm-Ostwald-School did a pretty good job in the USA and these are the results:

1st Place Film, 2nd place Cyberspace Pursuit , 7th place Desktop Publishing, 4th and 7th place Scientific Vizualization, 5th and 9th place Promotional Graphics.

And yet the projects weren't the only things we enjoyed really much, but also meeting the Chapter of the Abingdon High from Virginia and especially the Family Dreyzehner, who were always so kind to us and  showed us a variety of the culture of their nation. For example we visited the capitol and Washington D.C. as well as  the Amish People in the vicinity of Intercourse, Pennsylvania.
We hope for even better results in Dallas, Texas at National Conference 2011 „TSA - Snapshot of Innovation“.

With two days left until the project Cyberspace Pursuit has to be completed, the new website of TSA Ostwald is published. It has been programmed and redesigned completely. In addition to the complete makeover, it also depicts the required design brief about "STEM - Education and careers" for this year's cyberspace pursuit competition. Enjoy reading!

Today, the Wilhelm-Ostwald-School invited parents and young students of whole of Leipzig to experience the atmosphere in the school. TSA Ostwald was represented to illustrate the fantastic opportunities TSA offers. Further, the parents were extremely excited about the excellent extracurricular education of our chapter, which arouses team spirit and promotes creativity, innovation and achievement. The feedback we got from the visiting parents showed clearly that the uniqueness of our German chapter triggered much of the parents' fascination about our school.

TSA Ostwald started the Film-Project and searches for new actors! Additional information is available on the German news.

In the new TSA year we were able to win many new talents for our Chapter. The choice between 20 applicants was not easy. However, at last the following 13 pupils did it into the TSA Ostwald team: Laura, Charlotte, Viet, Maximilian, Katharina, Lorenz, Denis, Georg, Antonia, Rene, Robin, Hans-Joachim and Franziska. We are very pleased that we found not only many young talents, but also that we were able to arouse more girls enthusiasm for the TSA.

TSA Ostwald returned to Germany after 7 exciting days in Denver, Colorado with many successes and new friends at the 5th of July.
The eight students accompanied by Mr. Januszewski and Mr. Dr. Jost achieved a first place in the project Cyberspace Pursuit and three additional placements under the top ten. They also got software licences worth almost 10 000 Euro for reaching the final of the SciViz project.
But not all the time was needed for the competitions. The friendship with the Chapter from the Abingdon High School, Virginia was deepened. One of the students from this chapter, Jason Dreyzehner, will attend the Wilhelm-Ostwald-School for 6 months soon.
A more detailled report about our activities can be found in the German travelogue. New pictures will also be added to our gallery soon.

TSA Ostwald is searching for new talents! Interestes pupils must work on one of the seven Admit-projectes to demonstrate their skills regarding technology. At the beginning of the next school year all candidates have to present their results.

Today the Ingenieurkammer Sachsen invited our TSA chapter to the "BELANTIS Event Park Leipzig". We heard about the advantages of studying engineering and we were able to have a look behind the scenes of the fun park. We then also had the chance to test the attractions, which we all enjoyed. It was a fun experience and we are grateful for the invitation!

The new website of TSA Ostwald is online now. In May this site will be sent to TSA as a project for Denver. We're currently fixing the last bugs.

Last Thursday, the "National Biology Competion" of the University of Toronto took place the 15th time. In addition to numerous Canadian schools, also a couple of foreign schools, including the Wilhelm Ostwald secondary school, took part in. We are proud to say that out of the 30 participants there were also 8 members of the TSA-Chapter Ostwald. They competed in 10 different disciplines of biology, like general biochemistry, genetics or ecology.

Today the eight students who managed to join the team Denver 09 were announced. They excel themself through determination and convincing projects. The students are Christofer, Marcel, Patrice, Eike, Anne, Firas, Christian and Duong. The team is accompanied by the adisors Mr. Januszewski and Dr. Jost. Good luck!

The members of TSA have presented their projects in front of the sponsores and advisors today. We were very satisfied with the good results again. The lucky members who join the team Denver 09 will be annnounced after Easter this year. This is due to the fact that we have more avaiable time to make this hard decision.
