And here’s another prize: Leonard and Nicolas, you guys are the best!

With their research into sustainable alternatives to conventional petroleum-based plastic wrap, Steinmühle students Leonard Berger and Nicolas Bohnstedt have really taken off. After taking first place in chemistry at the regional “Jugend forscht” competition, winning a special prize at the state competition, and even hosting a visit from a ZDF TV crew at Steinmühle in the meantime, they now have another success to report: Leonard and Nicolas won one of the top prizes in the “Jugend testet” competition, organized by Stiftung Warentest.

Which of the three grand prizes our students have won will be announced on June 5 at the awards ceremony in Berlin, to which the team—along with their advisor, Dr. Jutta Töhl-Borsdorf—has been invited. – We’d like to offer our heartfelt congratulations in advance and look forward to hearing the results you’ll bring back to Steinmühle!
