Funded by Stiftung der Bremer Wertpapierbörse, the project aims to inspire students to study the STEM subjects at the University of Bremen. Pupils from various Bremen secondary schools complete various tasks in small groups for half a year. Thematically appropriate to ZARM, all tasks are related to space and reflect the diversity of the institute with content ranging from the exploration of foreign celestial bodies to Rocket fuel research. While tinkering with their solutions, the students are professionally accompanied by ZARM and gain their first experience in scientific work.

On one hand, the aim of the project is to create enthusiasm for the STEM degree programmes, which have a strong focus on space travel at the University of Bremen. ZARM also has the opportunity to present itself and its diverse research focuses. At the same time, the students experience themselves in a research context away from the curriculum of the Science subjects. Here, the focus is on one's own motivation as well as the acquisition of problem-solving skills and systematic methodological competence. The overarching research interest of the project is to accompany this development process and competence acquisition and to understand it didactically.
