Inspiring Youth to Embrace Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

The "Future Makers - all talents for MINT", a regional cluster in Landshut, Germany, is set to broaden its horizons. The MINT cluster, comprising six partners including the World Acre, aims to offer its events more actively for children and young people in the city and district.

The MINT service center of the city of Landshut, a partner in both the MINT initiative and the MINT cluster, has announced these future plans. Claudia Weindl, an education manager at the MINT service center, commented on the development.

The MINT initiative, which has more partners than those previously mentioned, including Silicon Vilstal, the neighborhood center DOM, the MINT forum Bavaria, and the University of Applied Sciences Landshut, is focused on expanding extra-curricular MINT education offers for children and young people aged 10 to 16 from the city and Landshut district.

One of the key partners associated with the University of Applied Sciences Landshut is the World Acre in Landshut. This innovative project, covering an area of 2,000 square meters, is dedicated to growing what is available per person for food, energy, and clothing. The World Acre represents the worldwide available arable land per capita and grows the globally most important crops proportionally to their global cultivation area.

While the World Acre in Landshut is not explicitly mentioned as a partner in the MINT cluster, it is closely connected to the university. All MINT offers from the region, including those from the World Acre, can be booked online at www.zukunftswerker.la.

The MINT cluster also intends to strengthen its cooperation with municipalities, schools, and companies. This collaborative approach is evident in the numerous volunteers involved in the Landshut cluster.

Recently, Dr. Maximilian Müller-Härlin, responsible department head at the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, spoke about the Landshut cluster's "Future Makers" on the World Acre in Landshut. This endorsement from a high-level official underscores the importance and potential of the MINT cluster's initiatives.

As the MINT cluster continues to grow and evolve, it promises to provide valuable opportunities for children and young people in Landshut and the surrounding district, fostering a new generation of innovators in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
