Learning with fun and real moments of realization
For families, this is a particularly valuable children's experience: The children work appropriately for their age, test their own ideas, and experience how a small game is created from simple building blocks. Such learning formats strengthen creativity, logical thinking, and the joy of discovering together. Witelo has been connecting STEM offerings for children and teenagers since 2014 and coordinates the regional STEM network Jena. ([witelo.de](https://www.witelo.de/witelo-ist/?utm_source=openai))

This perfectly suits a family outing with added value: The children acquire digital skills, discover their strengths, and take home new ideas.
