The out-of-school laboratoy foeXlab: Science education – science communicaton – science (Ö)

• Subject Area: Physics
• Term: from 2016 to 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 274200144

To bridge the gap between public awareness on quantum physics and DQ-mat research, project Ö developed the out-of-school pupils' laboratory foeXlab, integrated in the educational region of Hannover. Our offers cover experimenting courses for pupils, trainings for teachers and teachers-to-be, and outreach for the general public. Project Ö will further enrich the outreach measures of DQ-mat developed during the first funding period. We will continue to pursue our long-term vision of interconnecting scientific research, science communication, and science education.
