Learning
How does it work? Explore it yourself in our courses.
The best learning is through doing something yourself. That’s why exciting experiments are central in our eight laboratories and our test kitchen. In over 2,500 square meters, kindergarten and preschool groups, school classes, and groups find out for themselves how things work.Kindergarten
What is magnetic? How does a plant drink water? The courses for kindergarten and preschool children focus on the children’s everyday lives. There they can playfully explore how the world functions.
Primary school
Children want to get to know the world. In our courses for grades 1 to 4 they can get to the bottom of things. There they can make salt crystals, for example, or research the sense of taste.
Secondary level I
From virus detection to the study of global warming: for the secondary school level I, we offer several different laboratory courses. In all of them the focus is on experiencing, understanding, and researching.
Secondary level II
Courses for the secondary school level II address more advanced subjects in the natural sciences. For example, young people research how to produce aspirin or how a CT functions.

Insight into the course labs
Student Research Center
In the sfz Student Research Centre there are eight well-equipped laboratories. There students can realize their own ideas – even long-term projects. They are supported by experimenta’s course leaders, delegated educators, and student teachers.
Offerings for educators
We want to support educators in their work. That is why we have put together separate offerings for them that range from getting to know experimenta on their own to a day at experimenta together with their colleagues. Discover moreSciDay
Science for all – simply explained
SciDay is a series of scientific lectures for anyone 14 and older. The changing themes are varied and range from astronomy to biology, chemistry, and physics, up to computer science. For these we regularly invite experts from renowned universities and research institutions. Audience members can experience a university lecture live for themselves. If there are questions after the roughly hour-long lectures, at the end audience members can exchange ideas with the speakers about current research projects, choice of a field of study, and life as a scientist.Creative competition
for young STEM talents
Developing ideas, doing research in a team, and competing against others: experimenta makes many STEM competitions possible for children and teens. The range extends from Lego robots programmed by the students themselves to research projects in the laboratory.
