Curiosity fosters innovation! This was the motto for the “Jugend forscht” (Youth Researches) competition held at the Universum® on 15.02. and 16.02.2016. A total of 243 schoolchildren competed before the judging panel, submitting exciting projects from technology, physics, mathematics/IT, biology, chemistry, geo- and space science and the world of work. This year RW Bremen-Mitte came in third at national level!

The award ceremony was held on 17.02.2016 in the large auditorium of the University of Bremen and was enthusiastically attended by numerous guests. The successful winners of first prize then went forward to the competition organised by the Federal State of Bremen, which took place in the Musical Theater Bremen from 03.-04.03.2016.

Five of the six projects from the State of Bremen which were then entered in the national competition came from RW Bremen-Mitte.
