STEM education creates the future. Competencies in Mathematics, Informatics, Natural Sciences, and Technology (=STEM) are an important foundation for social participation, innovation, and securing skilled labor in our region.
As a strong educational and economic region with numerous technology-oriented companies, the Oberberg district needs young people who discover their talents and actively shape their future. Therefore, the Oberberg Education Network, together with its partners, is committed to providing children and young people with exciting early access to the STEM world—from kindergarten through school to the transition to training and studies.
In the field of action, strengthening STEM competencies, the zdi Center investMINT Oberberg (zdi=Zukunft durch Innovation) has been established since 2011. As part of the Oberberg Education Office, it coordinates STEM activities in the region, networks actors from education, science, and business, and develops demand-oriented offers together with its partners. The zdi Center is part of the statewide joint initiative “Zukunft durch Innovation.NRW” (zdi) and benefits from a strong network promoting STEM education in North Rhine-Westphalia.
