Science Camps (MINT-EC) in Germany
Enrollment for MINT-EC Camps has started
What is a MINT-EC Camp?
A MINT-EC Camp is a 5 day workshop at a university or other educational or scientific institution in Germany. For a week students will do practical research and are encouraged to do their own scientific inquiry in a specific field supported by university professors and scientists. At the same time there will be opportunities for exchange within the MINT-EC school network. Camp fees, accommodation and meals are covered by the MINT-EC organization.
MINT 400
Every year 400 students from MINT-EC schools have the opportunity to come together in Berlin to be part of MINT400. Together with their teachers they visit famous research institutes and attend exciting workshops. This program also includes a visit to the school lab of the German Air- and Space Center, sightseeing in Berlin and a visit to the German Bundestag. Camp fees, accommodation and food are covered by the MINT-EC organization.
