Junge Forscher – Gemeinsam Wissenschaft erleben

Junge Forscher – Gemeinsam Wissenschaft erleben is an outreach programme that brings students, doctoral candidates and early-career researchers into primary school classes to introduce third- and fourth-grade pupils to science, technology and digital topics. The programme uses conversations and hands-on experiments in the classroom and includes an excursion to the researchers' workplace at Goethe University Frankfurt. Three themed modules have been developed: "DNA & Inheritance – The Building Blocks of Life", "Small Particles – What the World Is Made Of" and "Digital Adventures – Decoding the Language of Computers". The Stiftung Polytechnische Gesellschaft supports the programme in cooperation with Goethe-Universität Frankfurt.

Hands-on classroom experiments, direct contact with researchers, and an excursion to researchers' workplaces at Goethe-Universität Frankfurt accompanied by parents and teachers.

The programme is aimed at third- and fourth-grade primary school pupils (Grundschüler). Activities are delivered by university students, doctoral candidates and early-career researchers affiliated with the Main-Campus-Stipendiatenwerk or Goethe-Universität Frankfurt.
