MINTdigital: online STEM subject series for school pupils
MINTdigital gives pupils from year 10 onwards the opportunity to gain exciting insights into current research and enter into dialog with scientists. This digital format of science communication for young people takes a closer look at topics in the STEM sciences, i.e. mathematics, computer science, natural sciencesand technology, as well as studies and careers in these subjects.
Pupils from MINT-EC schools can receive five MINT-EC points if they participate fully in at least four sessions and complete one task.
MINTdigital in fall 2026: The fascination of quantum worlds
A digital lecture journey into the fascinating world of quantum research and technologies.
Immerse yourself in the revolutionary world of quantum physics! Rarely have new findings changed our understanding of the world, energy and matter so fundamentally. What is the difference to classical physics? How do neutrinos oscillate? How does a quantum computer work? And what makes novel quantum materials so special? In five exciting sessions, TU Dresden scientists will guide you through the fascinating world of quanta. Learn how quantum phenomena not only exist in theory, but are already being used in practice!
The event is interactive: you can take part in live discussions, talk to researchers and talk to students from different departments about everyday life during your studies.
Dates: Thursdays, 05.11.; 12.11.; 19.11.; 26.11; 03.12.2026, 16:30 - 18:00 in each case
