Pupil labs are central facilities in many educations and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) regions. They are constantly offering new experiments, trying out new methods of teacher education and using creative methods. This year, the educational offer of the Chemikum Marburg and the SFB 1083 was awarded the LernortLabor (LeLa) 2nd Prize in the category “Experiment of the Year”. The jury judged the format to be an innovative and admirable approach. The LeLa Prize recognizes outstanding achievements by school laboratories and school laboratory networks.
The awarded experiment is a two-hour experimental workshop for young people from grade 9 and upwards and the general public, which focuses on the properties of hydrogen, its production, storage and ultimately the conversion, e.g. in fuel cells. SFB 1083-related experiments, like using solar cells for hydrogen production or the detection of hydrogen by means of suitable detectors, rounded off the overall very good impression of the Chemikum and the Oe project.
