MINT-Pro²Digi

The "MINT-Pro²Digi" project is an extracurricular learning opportunity to promote the interests of learners from different types of schools. The basic idea of the project is to give young people the opportunity to work on substantial and authentic mathematical problems from companies (e.g. modeling, optimization, big data, product design, etc.) in project teams, solving the problem together. The companies and the employees responsible for the project work closely with experienced student teachers, teachers and scientific staff to introduce the problems in a way that is appropriate for the target group, thus enabling interested young people to experience directly how they can apply their school knowledge in the working world.

Opening event (09.02.2021)

The MINT-Pro²Digi project was launched at a virtual opening event on 09.02.2021 together with the sponsors (zdi.nrw, education offices of the districts Olpe and Siegen-Wittgenstein), companies of the region (Albrecht Bäumer GmbH & Co. KG, dicomputer GmbH, Enders Heizung Sanitär GmbH & Co. KG, G-TEC Ingenieure GmbH, Hees Bürowelt, Elektro Kemper, Metallbau Johann Hunold GmbH & Co. KG), employees of the University of Siegen and 21 students from differrent schools (Hanseschule Attendorn, Gymnasium Maria Königin Lennestadt, Sekundarschule Olpe, städt. Gymnasium Olpe and St.-Ursula-Gymnasium Attendorn).
