This introductory course in natural sciences and technology is geared towards young women who are interested in degree programs in STEM fields (natural sciences, technology, engineering, and math) or would like information about career prospects in these fields.

The three-day program consists of workshops and lab exercises in various STEM fields, discussion rounds with female university students, campus tours, as well as field trips to companies within Bremen. Participants will benefit from the insights into degrees in natural sciences and technology.

The participation fee is 10 euros and includes drinks, snacks, and a meal in the university dining hall (Mensa). Female school students can register at https://www.schnupperstudium.uni-bremen.de (website is in German only). The registration deadline is June 25, and spots are limited.

This introductory course is part of the collaborative MINTsteps project, which has received funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) since May 2024 as part of the third funding period of the regional clusters for youth education in STEM. The goal of MINTsteps is to break with stereotypical gender norms, create access to STEM fields, and empower young women by offering opportunities to connect with female students, researchers, and professionals.

“We want to create spaces where girls can ask questions, try new things, and rediscover themselves and their interest in STEM fields – independent of ascribed social roles,” says Inessa Ulrich, MINTsteps collaborative project coordinator.
