MINTWednesday: Great Fun for Children and Families in Jena

MINTWednesday in Jena: Fun for Curious Children and Families

On September 9, 2026, the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena will once again be exciting, colorful, and smart: At MINTWednesday, children from elementary school age will engage with experiments, technology, and hands-on activities. The open family experience starts at 4:00 PM in the workshop on level 0 and invites awe, questions, and participation.

Explore, Test, Understand

The witelo e.V. brings its experimentation boxes and makes MINT tangible for children. On September 9, Ozobots will be the focus: small robots that travel through the library and playfully demonstrate how code, movement, and logic are interconnected. This creates a learning experience that ignites curiosity and fosters development for families.

An Open Offer for Quality Time Together

Especially family-friendly: No registration is required; friends can be brought along, and adults are explicitly welcome. This makes MINTWednesday a relaxed opportunity for shared time with a true sense of discovery. Children experience technology not abstractly, but as accessible, age-appropriate, and integrated into everyday life.

Why This Experience is Pedagogically Convincing

The offering focuses on age-appropriate experiments, independent trying out, and a learning environment that combines safety and joy. This is ideal for elementary school-aged children: motor skills, concentration, problem-solving, and teamwork are strengthened incidentally. The library becomes a place of exploration where questions are encouraged, and small successes are greatly appreciated.

Practical Information for Families

The event will take place at the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena. The offering is free of charge and accessible. Those seeking a child-friendly afternoon filled with technology, tinkering, and wonder will find a suitable date right in Jena.

Conclusion: MINTWednesday beautifully combines education and enthusiasm. Families can look forward to an open, free, and vibrant afternoon full of experiments. Anyone looking for children's laughter, learning fun, and a strong MINT experience should experience this offer live.
