MINT on Sunday: Creativity, Technology and Crafting Fun at the Interim of the Central Library
At the MINT Workshop on Sunday in Cologne, curiosity meets movement, imagination, and technology. Children and young people aged 10 to 18 will immerse themselves in a free workshop experience on September 13, 2026, from 2 PM to 5 PM, taking place in the training room on the 3rd floor of the Interim of the Central Library. Registration is required. ([stadt-koeln.de](https://www.stadt-koeln.de/leben-in-koeln/freizeit-natur-sport/veranstaltungskalender/mint-workshop-am-sonntag-168))
Hands-on Technology instead of Dry Theory
MINT means much more here than just numbers and formulas: The Youth Media Culture NRW offers a combination of crafting, programming, electronics, and digital creativity. Sometimes game design ideas are created, sometimes new objects from one's own imagination are built using tablets and 3D printers, and sometimes real components are soldered. This mixture characterizes the event experience and makes the workshop particularly accessible to young visitors.

A Place with Space for Learning and Discovering
The Interim of the Central Library on Hohe Straße offers many services over five floors, learning and working spaces, as well as a makerspace. This creates an environment for the workshop that is ideal for engaging children and young people: open, lively, and hands-on. The city library also points out good transport connections and numerous service offerings in the building.

Cooperation with Educational Profile
The event is a collaboration with fjmk and is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education, Family, Seniors, Women, and Youth. The Youth Media Culture NRW works as the official agency of the state of NRW and has been present for years with media educational offerings, making, coding, and digital learning formats. This gives the workshop professional authority and a clear educational signature.
