Our workshops enable young people to get to know different job profiles in the high-tech sector. They gain an insight into the everyday life of STEM experts from renowned companies in Saxony and learn the basics of microelectronics, software and robotics. Each module contains specific programming tasks with worksheets.
Our extracurricular offer is aimed at schools that want to provide practical career guidance for their young people. Our modules are a free and attractive offer for project days and project weeks. We support career guidance and create links
to physics, chemistry and computer science lessons.
In our interactive workshop, young people immerse themselves in the world of programming and robotics in a fun way. With the help of the Ozobot, a small programmable robot, they discover how color codes are used to control movements and processes.
Participants not only learn about the basic concepts of programming and microelectronics, but also find out about the professions behind the development of such a robot. Through creative tasks and specially developed worksheets, they program the Ozobot so that it finds its way to its “dream job”.
This workshop promotes logical thinking, problem-solving skills and technical understanding – all in a fun and exciting way!
MINTorinnen are an attractive choice for schools as they are represented by women from technical professions and act as role models. Through their presence, they enable pupils to get a realistic picture of various technical professions.
Another attractive aspect is the variety of professions in the fields of electrical engineering, mechatronics, software development and engineering. Through direct interaction with STEM mentors, young people can get to know their own interests and skills better.
In addition, female STEM mentors can help to overcome existing challenges in career guidance, such as the difficulties of reaching high-tech companies or understanding complex engineering professions. By providing young people with concrete knowledge about companies in Saxony and acting as contacts for internships, female STEM mentors facilitate access to technical professions and offer young people concrete prospects for their professional future.
