Get to know Heureka's sponsored science class activities

What could unite the students of the class better than a day together around exciting and inspiring themes? Heureka's exhibitions and interactive programs offer unforgettable experiences for school and early childhood education groups, but an empty tour desk can sometimes be an obstacle to experiences. In this case, the solution can be found in sponsored science class activity. Up to 10,000 students visit Heureka every year, supported by different companies or foundations. The support of the partners enables the desired and memorable visit to Heureka every year for numerous children of school and early childhood education age, who would otherwise not necessarily have the opportunity to visit the science center.
The Heureka trip inspires students to get to know the achievements of science and the innovations that make our everyday lives easier. It motivates students in their studies and hopefully also gives ideas and direction for future working.
