The MINTMakers Lab

Maker Space for electronics and advanced ceramics

The Sensor Space is aimed in particular at schoolchildren between the ages of 10 and 16 and can be designed individually. In addition, the Sensor Space is regularly open as a MakerSpace to freely use devices and tools or to inform about offers. However, the Sensor Space is not only on site in Hermsdorf. The Sensor Space mobile is on the road in the Saale-Holzland, Saale-Orla and Greiz districts.

The Project

At Sensor Space, children and young people learn skills and competencies for the development and application of future technologies. Courses & AGs in the afternoons are designed to complement school lessons - experimentation is the main focus here. The SENSOR SPACE offerings are primarily available to the students of the approximately 40 secondary schools (regular schools, high schools and comprehensive schools) in the districts of Greiz, Saale-Orla-Kreis and Saale-Holzland-Kreis. Around 15,000 pupils in the 10 to 16 age group have the opportunity to get to know SENSOR SPACE at various events. The goal is to reach about 300 to 500 students per year with weekly offers after a start-up phase of the lab.

Sensor Space MINT offers

The abbreviation "MINT" stands for "mathematics, IT/ computer science, natural and engineering sciences and technology". In our Sensor Space, these topics are made tangible:

  • Programming, CNC, automation, Big Data, IoT data processing, artificial intelligence.
  • High-tech manufacturing: Soldering, milling, ceramic fabrication, 3D printing, manufacturing inspection and evaluation
  • Basics of sensor technology

The Tridelta Campus is the initiator and project coordinator for the first children's MINTMakersLab specifically for sensor technology and production engineering in Eastern Thuringia.

Jonas Greif is the new MINT Master

TRIDELTA Campus / Hendrik Bengs • 20.10.2022

Jonas Greif grew up on Lake Constance and has lived in Thuringia for ten years. In 2010, he decided to study physics at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena. During his studies, he already gained experience in the care of children and young people. After graduating, he remained at the university as a research assistant and became involved in the "Physics for Schoolgirls" project. Since then, working with adolescents has been close to his heart:

"It is important to me to bring children and young people closer to the world in which they live. Computer technology and automation are playing an increasingly important role in society, but their understanding of how it works is rudimentary, if it exists at all. I would like to do my bit to increase the understanding of modern technology a little."

Programming, sensors and networks - the first Sensor Space Summer School

TRIDELTA Campus / Hendrik Bengs • 20.10.2022

The aim of the Summer School was to teach basic concepts of Industry 4.0 and to arouse interest in STEM (mathematics, computer science, natural science, technology). Pupils from the 7th to 11th grade were given insights into programming, plant engineering and automation during the one-week holiday course.

Foundation stone for the Sensor Space

TRIDELTA Campus / Hendrik Bengs • 20.10.2022

Andreas Heller, District Administrator of the Saale Holzland district, and Daniel Störzner, Chairman of the Board of Tridelta Campus Hermsdorf, sign the cooperation agreement for the Tridelta Campus project "Sensor-Space". With this, both partners seal their cooperation on the project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research to set up the first children's MI(N)TmachLab specifically for sensor technology and production engineering in Eastern Thuringia. The signatures of District Administrator Andreas Heller and Tridelta Campus CEO Daniel Störzner under the joint cooperation agreement mark the start of the collaboration on the Sensor Space educational project. The Tridelta Campus is the initiator and project coordinator for the first children's MI(N)TmachLab specifically for sensor technology and production engineering in Eastern Thuringia.
