Nordhausen, 10 March 2026 - On 23 April 2026, Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences will once again be taking part in the nationwide Girls' Day. On this day, the university's Student Research Centre (SFZ) will open its doors to schoolgirls in years 5 to 10 who are curious about mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology (STEM). The aim is to get girls interested in technical and scientific careers at an early age and to show them new prospects for their professional future.

They can experiment, programme and get creative themselves at several workshop stations. They will discover, for example,

No previous knowledge is required - all that is needed is Curiosity, a love of experimentation and a desire to try things out.

With its programme, Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences wants to show girls that STEM subjects can be exciting, creative and practical.
