Sunday tinkering, building and programming: MINT Workshop in Cologne
In the interim of the Central Library, Sunday, September 13, 2026, will become a day of participation for young explorers. At the MINT Workshop on Sunday, creativity, technology, and real workshop atmosphere come together – free of charge and right in the heart of Cologne.
A Sunday full of ideas, cables, and clever minds
The NRW Youth Media Culture Authority is collaborating with the Cologne City Library to create an experiential event that playfully introduces children and young people to mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, and technology. Among soldering irons, tablets, 3D printing, and programming, a lively audience atmosphere develops where experimentation is explicitly encouraged.
Hands-on instead of theory: Making MINT tangible
Every Sunday has a different creative focus. Sometimes, participants develop small digital characters, sometimes artworks and components come from the 3D printer, and sometimes the focus is on electronics and basic soldering work. This mixture of practice, curiosity, and modern media work makes the offer so strong in targeting the audience.
A place for learning, discovering, and understanding
The workshop takes place in the training room on the 3rd floor of the interim Central Library. The format is aimed at children and young people aged 10 to 18 years and does not require prior knowledge. Those who only know technology from textbooks will experience a different side of MINT here: direct, open, and with plenty of space for personal ideas.
Organization with educational value
The NRW Youth Media Culture Authority brings media educational expertise and experience to the event planning. Supported by the cooperation with the Cologne City Library and the funding from the Federal Ministry for Education, Family, Seniors, Women, and Youth, a reliable offer emerges with a clear focus on education, participation, and creative media competence.
Conclusion: The MINT Workshop on Sunday combines participation, learning, and wonder into an exciting afternoon in Cologne. Anyone wanting to not only see technology but also try it out themselves should experience this free offer live.
