A look at MINT and environmentally friendly energy

The event in Erlangen is part of a larger initiative that focuses on MINT formation. MINT stands for mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology. These areas play a crucial role to inspire children at an early stage for technical and scientific topics - a necessity when we think of the economic future. Talented young heads are encouraged through various programs, such as the house of small researchers or competitions such as youth. According to Kinder Mint Education MINT education is essential for the development of cognitive, emotional and social skills in children.

Another aspect that is increasingly focused on the MINT initiatives is the responsible handling of energy. For example, the project "Energy - What moves us" highlights the topic of environmentally friendly energy sources. Children up to 12 years explore how boats can be moved with sustainable energy sources. The aim of these programs is to promote the use of renewable energies and thus make a contribution to reducing climate change. How Environmental Education Reinickendorf, the children learn in a creative way of understanding the physical concepts of energy transmission.

The event in the Erlangen city museum is therefore not only an entertaining offer for children, but also an important step towards more conscious use of the energy future. The varied program should arouse curiosity and convey practical skills. It becomes clear: MINT formation is not only important for the personal development of the children, but also for the social and economic future of our world.
