We would like to support teachers and schools to promote STEM/MINT in kindergartens, unter und mittle stufe classes providing a range of school workshops with links to Coding, Design Technology, Robotics Engineering and Science for students but also workshops for teachers and educators
For Schools
FREE OF CHARGE STEM/MINT WORKSHOPS FOR SWISS SCHOOLS
Workshops for classes: boost the profile of science in your school with a visit to our STEM centre.
Thanks to the financial support of our partners, a pilot project will start from September 2024 in which some schools will be invited to collaborate with the Little Scientist team, bring their classes to our stem center where students and teachers will be involved in our STEM/MINT activities
We are on a mission to get children and teachers excited about science. As part of this mission, we deliver fun, interactive, and educational science workshops for students at our new STEM centre.
All our workshops feature real-life, practical activities to give children a hands-on experience in science coding and robotics.
We work closely with schools and teachers to ensure our events link directly to their curriculum, meaning your visits fit in perfectly with your lesson planning. From states of matter to biology, from engineering to robotics, Little Scientists offers a collection of workshops tailored to the Lehrplan21 curriculum and designed to inspire your pupils in a unique and interactive way.
