MUT – Girls and Technology

STEM subjects – mathematics, computer science, the natural sciences, and technology – are supposed to be boring? No way! Let our "Girls and Technology" programme prove you wrong and find out for yourself how exciting the STEM subjects at the University of Bayreuth really are.

So come along when we launch our MUT girls and technology events “ On your marks - get tech - go!” (ages 10–14) on November 6 and 7 and the “MINT -HerbstUni!” (ages 15–19) from November 4 to 7!

We have once again put together a great program with lots of exciting hands-on workshops from a wide range of STEM fields, for which you can register now until October 30!

But please note: workshop places are limited! Therefore, we cannot guarantee that workshop places will still be available by the registration deadline.

The best thing to do is to click through our program and secure your desired spots!

We look forward to seeing you there!

On your marks  –  get tech – go!

A holiday programme for girls from 10-14 years of age

How does a cup get made from slurry? Why is glass transparent? What happens when plastic ends up in nature? Why don't polar bears freeze? And what do I need to program my own video game? 

You can explore these and other exciting questions in a variety of hands-on workshops.

MINT-Herbstuni (STEM Uni in Autumn)

A holiday programme for young women from 15-19 years of age

How do I program a robot to clean up the oceans? How does generative AI work? What do I need to make my own supermaterial? How do I build a lightsaber? What are bismuth crystals? How does slurry become a cup? How can I assert myself? And how do I actually find my way through the jungle of study options? 

We have prepared these exciting topics for you this year!

That's what our former MUT participants say:

A look back at 2024

A total of 51 participants from all over Upper Franconia took part in our last event (2024)! They traveled from all corners of the region to the University of Bayreuth campus to take part in 13 exciting hands-on workshops, where they played the role of scientists and explored research questions in the field of university STEM subjects. The older participants also received valuable tips on how to better navigate their own study and career choice process in the workshops offered by the Central Student Advisory Service. 

It was once again a very successful event, and we would like to thank all the workshop teams involved for their commitment, our participants for their many interesting questions and enthusiasm, and all the teachers and parents for their support in career orientation. Together, we made the event a great autumn highlight once again! 

Our thanks go to... 

Chair of Applied Computer Science III – Robotics and Embedded Systems, Chair of Applied Mathematics, Chair of Inorganic Chemistry III, Chair of Experimental Physics II, Department of Digital Teaching and Learning & Didactics of Computer Science, Game Innovation Lab, Glas Key Lab, Chair of Mechatronics, Engineering TAO-SFZ, Chair of Ceramic Materials, Chair of Technical Thermodynamics and Transport Processes... and the Central Student Advisory Service. 

Impressions of previous MUT campaigns at the University of Bayreuth and other universities in Upper Franconia can be found on the Upper Franconia-wide MUT website.

A look back at 2023

A total of 37 girls from 18 schools took part in our last event (2023)! Some of them travelled to the University of Bayreuth campus from over 300 km away to take on the role of scientists in 11 exciting hands-on workshops and investigate research questions in the field of university STEM subjects. A new and special feature this year was a workshop offered by the Student Advising Office for older participants to help them better navigate their own study and career choice process. 

It was once again a very successful event and we would like to thank all the workshop teams involved for their dedication, our participants for the many interesting questions and their enthusiasm, and all the teachers and parents for their support with career guidance.  Together we have once again made the event a terrific autumn highlight!

Impressions of the event can be found at www.mut-oberfranken.de.

We would like to sincerely thank all participants and all the dedicated workshop teams who make the event a successful highlight (again and again)!   

Our thanks go to... 

Chair of Applied Computer Science III - Robotics and Embedded Systems, Chairs of Applied Computer Science VIII - Serious Games & Applied Computer Science IX - Mobile Intelligent User Interfaces, Chair of Experimental Physics II, Chair of Experimental Physics IX, Chair of Experimental Physics XI and Didactics of Physics, Engineering Science TAO-SFZ, Chair of Ceramic Materials, Chair of Metallic Materials, Chair of Technical Thermodynamics and Transport Processes, Chair of Physical Chemistry I, CRC Microplastics, Chair of Business Mathematics ... and the Student Advising Office.
