At the state competition \u201cJugend Forscht\u201d in Darmstadt, Steinm\u00fchlen students Leonard Berger, Clara Steiner, and Quentin Herwig narrowly missed second place\u2014and with it, qualification for the national competition\u2014with their project \u201cFood Wrap Made from Crab Shells\u2014Is That Possible?\u201d For the trio\u2014which recently became a quartet with the addition of Nicolas Bohnstedt\u2014the project is now moving on to the next round at a different level. In addition to second place and a special prize at the state competition, an inquiry from ZDF is a wonderful sign of recognition. <\/p>\n

An editor from the ZDF science program PUR+ had visited the \u201cJugend Forscht\u201d state competition, looked at the many exciting projects, and presented the most interesting ones to the planning editorial team. Among them was the Steinm\u00fchle project by the four teenagers. While still at the event, the journalist spoke with Quentin about the project and shortly thereafter reached out to the Steinm\u00fchle and project leader Dr. Jutta T\u00f6hl-Borsdorf to stay in touch with the students and their project. <\/p>\n

“We don’t yet have a specific program in mind that this project might fit into,” according to ZDF. The plan is to produce a segment for 2025. <\/p>\n

PUR+ is an educational program for children that covers a wide range of topics, from sports and the environment to social issues and technology. The target audience is children aged approximately 10\u201314. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the group is very excited about this request, according to Dr. Jutta T\u00f6hl-Borsdorf, project supervisor and STEM coordinator at Steinm\u00fchle. The team now plans to continue working on the project and perhaps submit it to \u201cJugend testet\u201d next year.
\nThis works out well, because the group has not only produced many different types of films made from chitosan\u2014a byproduct of crab shells\u2014but has also developed various testing methods. For example, the highly sustainable films can be tested for tear resistance using a homemade pulling machine, or to determine how much moisture or oxygen they allow to pass through.
