MINT Campus 2025 – Exciting and Successful Days at Louisenlund

This year, a delegation from Steinmühle once again made its way to Louisenlund to participate in the STEM Campus and present their projects—despite the summer break in Hesse. This is according to Dr. Jutta Töhl-Borsdorf, STEM coordinator at Steinmühle.

 

Reunited with Old Friends

Fabian Sotonica, Clara Steiner, Maya Fischer, and Anna-Lena Griesler received a warm welcome on Thursday and, following the play *The Visit* staged by the +MINT students from Louisenlund, had the opportunity to meet new people and reconnect with old friends. Afterward, they had the opportunity to take a guided tour of the Learning & Research Center and admire the school’s new observatory, which was set to be inaugurated the following day.

Friday morning began with an interesting presentation on “genetic and epigenetic changes.” This was followed by the main event of the day—the fair, where students presented their projects to the public and a panel of judges and had the opportunity to discuss them with one another.

 

Workshops and a Lecture on Climate Protection

Just like last year, the popular pub quiz took place again that evening. The quiz involved sitting around a table and answering questions on a wide variety of topics, and the relaxed atmosphere made for a very pleasant evening.

The next morning began with workshops on various STEM topics. This was followed by another presentation on climate protection and then the awards ceremony conducted by the jury.

 

Both Steinmühlen teams won in their respective categories

As was the case last year, Steinmühle was extremely successful and secured victory in its respective categories with the projects it entered: The “Boat Project / A-WAVE” in the technology category and “Natural UV Protective Agents” in the chemistry category—as well as the “Orbitals Project,” a collaboration between Steinmühle and Louisenlund, which received the audience award “Winner of the Hearts.”

Afterward, everyone had the afternoon to spend as they pleased. This brought an extremely successful and exciting weekend to a pleasant close, and everyone was able to head home on Sunday morning feeling satisfied. Anna-Lena Griesler
