Steinmühle ranks among the eight most dedicated STEM schools in Germany

Last year, it was our participation in the national competition; this year, our team was the only participating school to win four titles at the regional competition. Now we have it in writing: Steinmühle School & Boarding School is among the eight most dedicated schools in Germany in the fields of mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, and technology (STEM). This result came from our recent application for the “Jugend forscht Schule 2025” award, which was sponsored by the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs.

“The success of the Jugend forscht competition is inextricably linked to the extraordinary commitment of the schools and their project advisors. They guide the students along their journey, promote inquiry-based, creative learning, and encourage them to follow their curiosity and explore exciting scientific questions. In doing so, schools lay the foundation for the long-term support of children and young people in the STEM subjects,” state the Board of Directors of the Jugend forscht e.V. Foundation and the Secretary General of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs in a letter to Principal Björn Gemmer.

 

“Exemplary support”

Steinmühle is particularly committed to the “Jugend forscht” program and provides exemplary support to young talent in the STEM fields. The faculty deserves our heartfelt thanks for this.

We at Steinmühle would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the teachers of STEM subjects, led by their coordinator, Dr. Jutta Töhl-Borsdorf. Without you, this achievement would never have been possible.
