Scientific institutes
Collaboration with scientific institutes is of particular interest to students in our upper grades. students. Special partnerships allow their participation in scientific programs, laboratory visits, participation in research teams during a one-week internship in 10th grade or in longer internships during the summer months. In addition to learning scientific methods, this also provides young people with important practical experience and a first insight into the professional lives of scientists. Often, motivating ideas emerge, for example, for the preparation of the science paper necessary for the MINT-certification or for the choice of topic for the fifth examination subject of the oral Abitur.
Example:
National Institutes of Health
- Karyogram workshop with Dr. Ried at the National Cancer Institute (NIC)
- Colaboration with Children's Inn (elementary school)
