Steinmühle Once Again Recognized as a STEM-Friendly School
Once again, Steinmühle was recognized as a STEM-friendly school yesterday, Wednesday. Dr. Jutta Töhl-Borsdorf and Dr. Sven Freibert accepted the award in Philippstal, North Hesse, representing Steinmühle as the only participating school from Marburg.
Steinmühle Receives Top Rating
“In the evaluation, the Steinmühle was ranked at the highest level,” said Dr. Jutta-Töhl-Borsdorf happily.
According to the two teachers, in the morning, participants were able to visit the training center of the host company, K+S Minerals and Agriculture GmbH Philippsthal, and gain interesting insights, for example, into dual degree programs.
The schools were honored by Sabine Stuhlmann (MNU Hesse Regional Association and the NaWi LoLa project), Benjamin Gesing (Executive Director of MINT Zukunft e.V.), and Harald Fisch (Senior Advisor at MINT Zukunft e.V.). The awards are valid for three years.
Recognized and supported by the business community
Mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, and technology (MINT) have become increasingly important for school development. The award-winning “STEM-friendly schools” demonstrate that their educational approach enables them to integrate ad hoc measures—such as those related to digitalization—into everyday school life in a didactically and pedagogically sound manner. The “STEM-friendly schools” gain visibility among students, parents, businesses, and the general public through this recognition and are not only acknowledged but also receive special support from the business community. Nationwide partners of the national initiative “MINT Zukunft schaffen!” (Creating a Future with STEM!) honor those schools that consciously prioritize STEM. The schools are evaluated based on a rigorous, standardized set of criteria and undergo a nationally uniform application process.
