That means: • get children and youths from the region between 4 and 19 years of age excited about science and technology, educate them well and convince them to stay in the region. • create an attractive range of educational offerings in the area of science and technology • build up an active, tri-national network of pupils and teachers at schools in Germany, France and Switzerland with phaenovum as its hub 3

  6. Financing • (Initial) Scientific equipment is financed by foundations and donations in kind • Patronages from supporting businesses, each in the amount of €2,500/year • Support from businesses in the form of donations and sponsorship • Teaching time contributed by the State of Baden-Württemberg • Building and management staff provided by the City of Lörrach/Innocel • EU: Interreg IV project 2009-2012: €1.06 million, some 40 partners from D, F and CH (17 of which are co-financers) • Annual membership fees 5

  7. Development • "Precursor" of phaenovum e.V.: • Physics Club at the Hans-Thoma-Gymnasium in Lörrach, since 1985 • IT Seminar Lörrach at the Cooperative State University offered by Innocel and the Steinbeis Transfer Center (STZ) Embedded Design & Networking, since 2003 • BioValley College Network for life sciences as a trinational initiative launched by chemistry and biology teachers in 2003 • Founding of the non-profit association phaenovum Schülerforschungszentrum Lörrach-Dreiländerecke.V. (Center for Young Scientists of Lörrach and the Tri-border Region), April 2007 • 3 departments: • IT/robotics • Biology/chemistry/life sciences • Physics/nanosciences 6

  8. Target groups • phaenovum: Pupils attending secondary schools in the region (from year 5 onward), 10-19 years • Promote pupils interested in the subject matter • Promote motivated pupils • phaenovum junior: Project for pupils attending years 1-4 at primary schools in in Lörrach (6-10 years) • Teachers: • Specialist training sessions for teachers (e.g. IT courses such as "Programming Java for Lego Mindstorms") • Networking events • 1:1 training within the scope of the phaenovum junior programme • Certificate course for educators/primary school teachers at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (2010-2012) 7

  9. phaenovum's offerings, from year 5 or age 10 and up • Promote pupils interested in the subject matter: • Seminar courses on subject-specific topics, 2-3 hrs/week (e.g. Chemistry Club, Making Magic with Physics, Make Robots Dance, Nanoparticles in Cosmetics) • Classroom courses and NaT-Working internships (e.g. DNA fingerprinting) • Holiday courses (e.g. scanning electron/scanning tunneling microscopes, soldering course) • Promote motivated pupils: • Preparation for and participation in competitions in small teams (Jugend forscht (Young Researchers), Schüler experimentieren (Pupils Experiment), IYPT, ICYS, Quanta, Physics Olympics, etc.) 8

  10. phaenovum junior offerings: Experiment at primary schools throughout the region (6-10 years) • 2 mandatory, 4-hour series of curriculum-based experiments are performed in class every school year 8 during the 4 years of primary school • Philosophy: Pupils should draw up and formulate their own hypotheses, try them out and learn to discuss them • 2-3 parents working on a voluntary basis help small groups during the experiments. Prior to this, the parents receive 1:1 training from scientists specifically for those experiments • Teachers, too, are trained together with parents, advise small groups of pupils and are involved throughout the entire experiment • Secondary schools can build on a primary school curriculum since this offering is mandatory for every primary school pupil • Pilot project in the City of Lörrach: Training courses have been financed by Sparkasse Lörrach-Rheinfelden since 2011 Model for other municipalities and cities in the region (total participation: 20 schools) 9
