For Constructor University students

Join meerMINT as your Community Impact Project (CIP )! With the initiative “Community Impact Project”, Constructor University students engage in major-related projects for the benefit of the community to create positive change. The project meerMINT will profit from your expertise in your respective study fields, your digital knowledge, and diverse backgrounds. Since you know the campus and its capabilities best, we would like to offer workshops with your help.

Develop your own workshop in teams of up to two students and impart new skills to high school students and help them draw motivation and ideas regarding STEM. Thematically, every topic between programming robots, experiments on renewable energies, the construction of chain reaction machines, or the creation of cosmetics is possible. With such workshops you can impart your skills to high school students and help them to draw motivation and ideas regarding STEM.

Workshops
Lab
Let’s test chemistry and biology

Exploring the life sciences together
Biology and Chemistry are your favorite subjects in school and you never want to leave the student lab?

Then this Workshop is made for you! A lot happens in a research laboratory in a day. Here, you will experience what it means to work in a lab and you will conduct experiments to test your lab working skills – like extracting DNA and determining pH.

The workshop will take place on the 27th of March from 9:30 - 12:30 am on the campus of Constructor University.

To register, please write to: jkuhlmann@constructor.university

Food
Let’s make DIY cream and perfume

The drugstore shelves are filled with all kinds of creams, serums and other skin care products. But what does my skin really need and can I make the cosmetics myself?
Find out your skin type and learn what ingredients you should look out for. Together we will explore the chemical and biological background behind cosmetics and skin types and create both a DIY cream and for the fragrance also a perfume.
The workshop will take place at Dock Nord on campus of Constructor University

When: 30.03.2023, 10am - 5pm
Where: Dock Nord, Constructor University

For registration, please write an e-mail to jkuhlmann@constructor.university

Easter eggs
Eggs everywhere

At Easter, the consumption of chicken eggs increases rapidly. Reason enough for us to subject the egg to a STEM check:

What is it shaped like? Why are some brown and others white? Can you tell if the egg is still good? And how stable is it exactly? Investigate these and other questions and take on the Egglander Challenge alone or in a team with others!

When: 31th March 2023, 9.30 – 12.30
Where: Dock Nord, Constructor University

Write an email to jkuhlmann@constructor.university until March 24.

Further / Background information

meerMINT is one of 22 educational clusters currently funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The network-members are going to establish four new bases - called meerMINT docks - in Bremen and Bremerhaven, which will offer STEM-related activities close to home and at fixed opening hours. And Constructor University is the dock for Bremen-Nord. This are the network-members:
