MINT:Factory

To address the shortage of skilled staff in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and the lack of adequate educational offerings in schools, a promising initiative was launched in the Osnabrück region in 2023.

This initiative focuses on introducing learning factories in secondary schools, also known as MINT:factories. These consist of 3D printers and electronic components for producing teaching materials that can be used in the classroom. The MINT:factory can be used in various subject areas, with the initial focus on computer science, which was introduced as a required subject in all schools in Lower Saxony in the summer of 2023.
