New impulses for young talents: Knowledge workshop Saarbrücken enthusiastic about MINT

Saarbrücken. In a world that is increasingly shaped by technology and science, the promotion of MINT skills (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology) is becoming increasingly important. This necessity is reflected in the activities of the knowledge workshop Saarbrücken e. V. resisted that playfully introduces young people to these topics. The association has set itself the goal of getting closer to children and adolescents from the age of seven through practical experiments and projects to be amazed at the secrets of science and technology.

The knowledge workshop, which is located at the Eurobahnhof in Saarbrücken, offers over 500 free courses annually, which are open to both school classes and interested individuals. The association is therefore dependent on sponsors and sponsors to provide the required materials and qualified staff. Energie Saarlorlux AG has been committed as the new “gold sponsor” of the association since the middle of this year, which is a significant step to further support this valuable education initiative.

Energie Saarlorlux as a supporter

Joachim Morsch, board member and spokesman for Energie Saarlorlux AG, commented on the decision to support the association. He emphasized that the increasing shortage of skilled workers in the region will be one of the central challenges of the coming years. "It is extremely important to arouse children's interest in technical professions at an early stage," explained Morsch. The close cooperation between the energy service provider and the knowledge workshop enables young talents to promote and offer them professional orientation in technical professions.

Energie Saarlorlux operates several power plants in Saarbrücken, including that on the Roman bridge. The need for well-trained specialists is high, and the commitment in the field of MINT formation creates a valuable bridge that introduces pupils and students into the world of technology. Morsch emphasized that the knowledge workshop makes a decisive contribution to attracting enthusiastic technology -interested people who may later work as an employee in the energy industry.

When visiting the knowledge workshop, the official “Gold Sponsor” certificate from Dr. Nicole Maas, head of the knowledge workshop, presented to Joachim Morsch. This symbolic gesture is not only recognition for the financial support, but also a sign of cooperation between educational institutions and companies. It stands for the conviction that curiosity and the fun of technology have to be promoted in the younger generation in order to counteract the shortage of skilled workers in the long term.

The knowledge workshop has established itself as an important part of the educational landscape in Saarbrücken and, with its innovative programs, offers a platform on which children and young people can experiment and research. The possibility to carry out your own projects and immerse yourself directly in the field of natural sciences and technology is a unique opportunity for many that can affect their professional ambitions.
