Exploring with all senses: MINT Wednesday at the Ernst-Abbe Library Jena
Curious children from elementary school age and their families discover the joy of experimenting at MINT Wednesday. In the workshop of the Ernst-Abbe Library, witelo e.V. and the library invite you to open tinkering, experimenting, and collaborative learning. On November 11, 2026, everything revolves around the exciting question: What does it smell like?
Smelling, marveling, and discovering for oneself
With the theme Always Follow Your Nose..., personal perception is at the forefront. Children experience how different smells can be, share observations, and delve into a researcher question close to everyday life. This fosters curiosity, linguistic expression, and the joy of developing their own hypotheses.
Open family experience with learning fun
The MINT Wednesday series combines child-friendly learning experiences with shared time. Instead of just watching, young visitors can actively participate, experiment, and contribute their ideas. Friends are also welcome. This creates children's laughter, wonder, and a lively sense of community in the library.
Age-appropriate, accessible, and without registration
The offering is aimed at children from elementary school age and is suitable for families who want to experience science playfully and in a relatable way. The event takes place in the workshop on level 0, starts at 4 PM, and is designed as an open offer. No registration is required. Admission is free, and the venue is barrier-free.
Research as a learning experience
The regular MINT Wednesday dates promote important skills: observing closely, asking questions, recognizing connections, and finding solutions together. This age-appropriate form of experimenting supports the development of independence and strengthens trust in one's own ideas. Adults accompany the family experience and discover new perspectives with the children.
Conclusion: An afternoon full of curiosity
MINT Wednesday brings science directly into family life. Those who want to smell, marvel, tinker, and try out together will experience an open and free event with real learning fun at the Ernst-Abbe Library Jena. Now mark the date and discover the family experience live.
