This spring, for the first time, a state competition was held in Hesse in the junior division of Jugend Forscht, also known as \u201cSch\u00fcler experimentieren.\u201d For Steinm\u00fchle, participating was a complete success, as no one returned to school without a prize. <\/p>\n

The competition was organized by the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Kassel and was held there as well.
\nSteinm\u00fchle was able to field four teams (one biology project and three chemistry projects) that had won first place in the regional competition. The students from grades 5, 6, and 8 had to arrive early to set up their booths by around 8 a.m. Over the course of two days, they presented their research projects at their booths using scientific posters to a panel of experts and, on the second day, to the general public as well. It quickly became apparent that\u2014compared to the regional competition\u2014the overall standard of the research projects was very high. <\/p>\n

A varied program of activities, including a visit to Grimm-Welt on Friday and a drumming workshop on Saturday, was on the agenda for the students. They spent the night at the nearby youth hostel. <\/p>\n

The awards ceremony finally took place on Saturday afternoon and was hosted in a very entertaining manner by Shary Reeves, whom many recognize from the KiKa show \u201cWissen macht Ah.\u201d
\nThe program began with a series of thank-you speeches by representatives from the Hessian Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs, the business community, and the University of Kassel. Shary Reeves then announced the rankings in the individual disciplines and presented the special awards. <\/p>\n

The result was sensational for Steinm\u00fchle. Happily, all of Steinm\u00fchle\u2019s participants went home with prizes! This was also true for Dr. Jutta T\u00f6hl-Borsdorf, our school\u2019s STEM coordinator, who received a mentor award: \u201cWhen it comes to the supervisor awards, it\u2019s repeatedly emphasized that we\u2019re able to have even very young students work on challenging projects.\u201d There was also an interview in Kassel about the structures at Steinm\u00fchle. <\/p>\n

Dr. Jutta T\u00f6hl-Borsdorf: \u201cIt\u2019s great that the students who leave the GuFi Lab in 7th grade often continue\u2014or now want to continue\u2014for example, on Friday afternoons in the \u2018Open Lab\u2019 or during the 8th and 9th periods in elective classes.\u201d <\/p>\n

Another goal is for the project to extend all the way to the upper grades. While students there often have a very full schedule, it is possible to substitute a subject required for the Abitur with a “Jugend Forscht” project as a “special academic achievement.” <\/p>\n

The following projects were developed for the \u201cSch\u00fcler experimentieren\u201d competition: <\/strong><\/p>\n
