Project Description
mint & pepper aims to inspire children and teenagers for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), life sciences and entrepreneurial topics, to make them ready for the future, and also to strengthen innovation in Switzerland.
In practical mint & pepper workshops, participants learn to better understand our technological world. The offerings give them profound insights into new technologies. They discover STEM and their individual strengths in very practical applications, develop solutions for real life challenges and - broaden their horizons for training and career choices. In keeping with Switzerland’s “Lehrplan 21” curriculum project and the latest research on teaching and learning research, mint & pepper develops modules and workshops for the upper primary school level and secondary school levels I and II.
