Science Day 2024

June 10, 2024 / Dr. Ilka Schwittlinsky

On June 8th, the University of Stuttgart opened its doors for the annual Science Day and our department put up a booth to present our field of research to visitors of all ages.

In our booth, we offered a mixture of interactive information boards and activities for visitors to take part in. We set up a series of microscopes so children, parents and prospective students could take a closer look at the morphology of fungi, bacteria, and yeast (used for making bread). Based on reference pictures, they could then guess which sample was which. In parallel, we put on a quiz with simple scientific questions for children. The display was rounded out by information boards on our current research projects.

We had a lot of fun meeting and talking to all our visitors!
