Over 500 pupils at the STEM Days 2025
From February 10 to 12, the University of Kassel opened its doors to school classes, advanced courses and study groups with their teachers, who had the opportunity to get a taste of university life in the laboratories and workshops and find out about the wide range of study options in the STEM subjects (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology).
Over 500 pupils took advantage of the offer and came with their teachers to the various university locations to tinker with electronic circuits in practice-oriented workshops, listen to science-related lectures on electromobility or the origin of light and color and gain informative insights into the laboratories of femtosecond spectroscopy and bioplastics. On Wednesday morning, almost 150 pupils enthusiastically watched the launch of the water rocket developed by the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
The MINT Days were opened on Monday evening with a kick-off event in the Campus Center, where the Physikanten gave a humorous introduction to the world of physics, showed amazing experiments with electricity, smoke and hydrogen and even ignited a fire tornado in the lecture hall. In the foyer of the Campus Center during the STEM Days, the "Hands-on Mathematics" touring exhibition from the Mathematikum Gießen was available for visitors to playfully explore mathematical puzzles and phenomena.
We would like to thank the State Education Authority for the excellent cooperation and the STEM departments of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering/Computer Science for their great commitment - and especially, of course, the pupils and their teachers for their visit to the campus.
Thanks to the support of the companies Micromata GmbH, SCHMIDTSCHE SCHACK | ARVOS GmbH and Kasseler Verkehrs-Gesellschaft, we were able to offer the event free of charge to all visitors - thank you very much!
