Steinmühle Recognized as a “Digital School” for the First Time

Last Thursday, September 18, the Steinmühle in Kassel was recognized for the first time as a “Digital School” by the “MINT Zukunft schaffen” initiative.

A total of 36 schools were awarded the title “Digital School” by Managing Director Benjamin Gesing and other representatives from the business community. The awards are valid for three years and recognize outstanding commitment to digital education. The ceremony, which included a professional development program, took place at the Student Research Center at the Albert Schweitzer School in Kassel.

 

Focus on five different categories

At Steinmühle, Malte Klimczak, the digitalization coordinator, and Tim Elmshäuser, the youth media protection coordinator, handled the application to become a digital school.

In its application, Steinmühle had to demonstrate that it has a solid foundation in the five different categories—Pedagogy & Learning Cultures, Teacher Training, Regional Networking, Concept & Sustainability, and Technology & Equipment—and that it has a broad-based approach to digital education.
Steinmühle cleared this hurdle with flying colors, and as of last Thursday, it is now officially recognized as a Digital School.
