Teaching

Teaching in the field of gender equality and support for girls refers to authentic, participative, research-based learning in small groups, whereby active, workshop-like events dominate to promote scientific and technical self-confidence. The result are new teaching formats that have a workshop character and are closely interlinked with outreach formats.

Continuous teaching offer

Pupils lectures on laser, tools of light, vibrations and waves, holography, about 1-2 per year.


Since 2011 every year: Doors open for the mouse. An experimental day of action for children in physics on the 3rd of October of each year.


Participation at the Day of school physics at the WWU Münster  (since2009).


Organisation of the Girls Day at the Department of Physics at the WWU Münster (since 2003).


Participation at the University day for pupils at the WWU Münster (since 2002).


Participation at the Autumn academy in physics for pupils at the Department of Physics at the WWU Münster ; special offers for girls (since 2002).


Development of workshops in the school lab MExLab with gender-orientation to the topics gravitation and rotation, rockets and flies, as well as many topics of the research focus of the Department of Physics at the WWU Münster: optics, structure formation, natural phenomena, nanoworlds, nuclear and particle physics.
