Over 10,000 participants in growing outreach programme

In March 2022, the Scienteens Lab reached a significant milestone: Over 10,000 teenagers have participated in more than 600 workshops since the Scienteens Lab was founded in 2013! “Our team is very grateful for the support and interest of hundreds of teachers who have visited our lab with their classes,” says Dr Elisabeth John, head of the Scienteens Lab. “And of course, a big thank you to all the young scientists for their enthusiasm!”

Activities in biology have been in high demand for several years, but mathematics, physics and computer science are catching up. Following in the footsteps of the Scienteens Academy in Systems Biology – a one-week interdisciplinary workshop designed for motivated high-school students – another summer school focusing on sustainability was launched in 2022. With a total of 18 different workshops available for booking, the Scienteens Lab hopes to welcome even more budding researchers in the coming years. ¢
