MINT-FIT CAMP: Chemnitz promotes young talents for the future!

in Chemnitz it is bubbling from activities! The coming weeks are all about the mint formation, an area that is becoming increasingly important and is of great value especially for children and young people. From June 30th to July 4th, the MINT FIT camp of the “Johanneum” children's and youth foundation will take place. Here is creatively started!

In an exciting airbrush workshop , children and young people are invited to design graphics who take up the topic "Chemnitz as Capital of Culture in 2025". This workshop takes place in the rooms of the M3 room construction on Sandweg 39 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The MINT FIT CAMP, which is aimed at educational children from difficult social conditions, would like to offer them new perspectives through the combination of art and science and arouse interest in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology (MINT). The partners of this important project include the Technical University of Chemnitz, Don Bosco Saxony and the Child Association Chemnitz e.V., who work together to provide low -threshold offers to improve educational opportunities.

a meeting point for girls

On Wednesday, July 2, the equality officer of the city of Chemnitz invites you to a girls' brunch . This takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the spinning mill at Altchemnitzer Straße 5a. The brunch not only offers an opportunity to exchange ideas, but also a space in which girls can talk to each other. The focus is on supporting the strengthening and promotion of girls in the city.

A special highlight will also be the discussion evening , in which Mayor Dagmar Ruscheinsky will take part. The topic is discussed: "European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 as a guest in Regensburg. What is, what remains, what can be?". This event takes place at 7 p.m. in the cultural center M26 in Regensburg and offers the framework for exciting discussions about the cultural development of the city.

creativity and networking in the MINT area

The MINT FIT CAMP aims to playfully immerse yourself in the world of MINT subjects, which is essential for the development of young talents. Education in the MINT area is becoming increasingly important, not only for the individual development, but also for the economic future of Germany. Early childhood access to mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology is promoted by projects such as the house of little researchers, which should arouse the fun and curiosity of children on these topics. Here you can experiment, research and discover-a great adventure for young researchers is made possible, such as Kinder-mint-bildung.de Show.

parents can support the MINT experiences of their children to support them by showing interest and reducing prejudices. Common experiments at home or playing with MINT toys can also help to promote enthusiasm for science and technology. A construction box, a robot or chemical experiments provide a lot of fun and at the same time learning!

The city of Chemnitz has set off to develop the MINT formation into a location factor that improves the opportunities for the children living here and counteracts the shortage of skilled workers. It remains exciting how these initiatives will develop!

In addition, Mayor Sven Schulze will be on vacation from June 30th to July 13th. However, changes are reserved for current occasion.
