Mintmit action days

commas Discover MINT in Central Hesse!

The MINTmit action days are a joint campaign by the MINTmit network in Central Hesse.

After the success of the first Mintmit campaign days, the event goes into the next round:
From the 26th to May 29, 2026 If the Mintmit network once again invites teachers and school classes as well as all MINT activists to be there when all of Mittelhessen experiment, tinker and discover!

Universities, institutions, science centers, regional companies, extracurricular learning centers, secondary schools, clubs, and associations are invited to offer four days of exciting experiments and hands-on activities for entire school classes in grades 5-10. This collaborative effort by all STEM stakeholders will generate significant regional awareness for STEM promotion.
