"Jugend forscht" youth science competition
Together with the City of Tuttlingen, KARL STORZ has been sponsoring the Donau-Hegau regional competition of "Jugend forscht" (a German youth science competition) since 2014. KARL STORZ supports the competition to offer young researchers from the region a platform for their ideas and creativity. In February of each year, this regional competition gives school and university students and apprentices from the surrounding area the opportunity to prove their abilities. The winners of the regional competition qualify to participate in the state competition.
Participants can conduct research in the following areas: work environment, biology, chemistry, geosciences and astronomy, mathematics and computer science, physics, and technology.
All students who are in 4th grade or up and not older than 21 years old may participate in "Jugend forscht". On the "Jugend forscht" website, children and adolescents who enjoy researching and experimenting could register their project, individually or in teams of up to 3, until 30 November 2020 for the 2021 competition.
The competition was held virtually on February 25th and 28th, 2021.
