MINT-Mach-Saturday on 30.05.2026

STEM is fun and exciting—and this was once again evident for the fourth time on Saturday, May 30, 2026, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Wilhelmshöher Allee campus. This year, too, there was a fantastic program featuring a variety of hands-on activities organized by the University of Kassel, as well as companies, schools, and institutions in the region. We welcomed an estimated 1,000 guests and can look back on an extremely successful event.

All the children who crafted, experimented, and learned new things at our booths received a small surprise as a thank-you gift.

We’d like to thank everyone who participated in STEM Hands-On Saturday with such dedication, and we’re already looking forward to next year!
