Exciting practical activities rather than dry theory: to get young people interested in science and technology, the Hessian medical technology manufacturer B. Braun launched a research workshop programme in 2008. In 12-day-long workshops, kindergarten and school children experience the world of science together with experts. They experiment, for example, with solar energy and explore the topic of recycling. In the initiative, companies, schools, and kindergartens cooperate to foster education and ensure that there are enough specialists outside of big cities.
