Bildergalerie

didacta, Europe’s largest education trade fair, is coming to Cologne March 16 to 20. Some 800 exhibitors from 15 countries will present their product lines for pre-school, primary school, secondary school, higher education, job training, qualification and continuing education. Siemens Stiftung, represented in Hall 6.1 for the first time with its own booth, will highlight its extensive commitment to education in the MINT fields (mathematics, informatics, natural sciences, technology) and to the promotion of language and cultural communication along the entire education chain – from pre-school to entry into the job market. All are welcome: teachers, educators at all levels and those who simply want to learn more.

Visitors to the Stiftung’s booth will find much to discover:  The Forscherkiste,  Discovery Box and  Tiny Tots Science Corner projects make natural phenomena approachable to even the youngest minds. The language support program  KIKUS (Children in Cultures and Languages), which Siemens Stiftung supports, focuses on helping immigrant children discover the joy of learning. Primary school students, guided by an instructor, will demonstrate to visitors how the  NaWi experiment kit by project partner Wissensfabrik e.V. can help unlock the secrets of science. For secondary school students, Siemens Stiftung presents  the Electro-Lab Kit with its sophisticated electronic experiments. And as the annual  school competition nears its grand finale in late March, anticipation surrounding the next contest is already great. Teachers can experience for themselves the diversity and user-friendliness of  the media portal, now encompassing over 1,700 instructional materials. Since 2004, the project grant series  “kiss – Culture in Schools and Universities” has supported teachers and aspiring teachers by awarding grants to those training for teaching careers in music and the arts and by providing instructional materials for contemporary art and culture.

The Siemens Stiftung looks forward to your visit in Hall 6.1, Aisle B, Booth 068.
