»Schülerforschungszentren«: Each Centre is Unique
»Schülerforschungszentren« are spaces for children and youth who are enthusiastic about mathematics, computer science, the natural sciences, and technology (STEM). These centres allow children to carry out their own science projects, research, invent, and experiment. There are currently 117 »Schülerforschungszentren« in Germany. Thuringia is home to 12 of these centres, located in Erfurt, Jena, Nordhausen, Schmalkalden, Ilmenau, Gera, Gotha, Greiz and Rohr. Weimar is the latest location to be added to the list.
For questions, please contact project coordinators Aletta Böcker, MFPA, and Dr. Elizabeth Watts, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, via e-mail: jugendforscht[at]uni-weimar.de
