Airy Experiments at MINT Wednesday in Jena
When children curiously ask, marvel, and try things out for themselves, the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena becomes an open discovery workshop. On MINT Wednesday, November 4, 2026, everything revolves around the topic of air. Children from elementary school age and adults are invited to tinker, experiment, and discover exciting scientific connections together.
Research, marvel, and try it yourself
Starting at 4 PM, the workshop on level 0 opens its doors. Witelo e.V. brings its experiment boxes and invites families to fun experiments around air. Children will experience firsthand how invisible forces become visible and how a small discovery arises from their own idea.
Child-friendly learning fun with real Aha moments
MINT Wednesday combines playful learning with practical learning experiences. Observing, comparing, trying out, and finding solutions together strengthens curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving thinking. The open design offers children different learning paces and creates an age-appropriate environment where questions are explicitly welcome.
Family time without registration stress
The open offer is aimed at children from elementary school age and accompanying adults. Friends are welcome to join. No registration is required, allowing families to come by spontaneously and experience a shared time full of children's laughter, wonder, and learning fun.
Safe and barrier-free in the library
The event takes place in the workshop of the Ernst-Abbe-Library and is marked as barrier-free. The protected indoor environment and the guided work with experiment boxes create a suitable framework for a safe family experience. The focus is on joint discovery, child-friendly development, and joy in science and technology.
