NaT Working
The Robert Bosch Foundation initiated NaT Working.
The program is intended to arouse students’ interest in
natural sciences and technology. One promising way
of accomplishing this is to establish and maintain
personal partnerships between teachers, students and
scientists and engineers active in research. Internships
for students and teachers in the researchers’ labs,
summer schools, student congresses or game-like
practical projects during leisure time are among the
sponsored activities. Particularly outstanding projects
are presented with an award once a year.

Humboldt Exploratorium Berlin
Exploring nature and discovering new things is the
greatest motivation for scientists. The Humboldt
Exploratorium offers young people the opportunity
of participating in the joy of scientific discovery.
The Exploratorium and Humboldt University in
Berlin owe their name to Alexander von Humboldt
– a multi-talented natural scientist who was a
geologist, zoologist and botanist in one – and his
brother Wilhelm.
