Curiosity and the spirit of discovery live within all of us! The educational workshop series \u201cForscher:Zeit\u201d aims to promote these characteristics amongst children of diverse backgrounds between the ages of 7 and 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Forscher:Zeit” runs at the Heidelberg community hub \u201cMehrgenerationenhaus Heidelberg\u201d in collaboration with our local partner Habito e.V.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small experiments and games introduce participants to basic processes and concepts of the life sciences in a playful way, covering topics such as microscopy and genomics. The workshops provide insights into the world of biological research and convey the joys of being a researcher and discoverer of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first “Forscher:Zeit” workshops took place in 2019. In 2020 and 2022, the project was amongst the winners of the BASF competition “Gemeinsam Neues Schaffen – BASF-Projektwettbewerb”, which supports social projects in the Rhein-Neckar metropolitan area and has received funding to run the workshops in collaboration with Habito e.V.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
