Coding, tinkering, and marveling: MINT Sunday in Cologne

On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the interim of the Central Library Cologne will transform into a creative workshop for children and young people. During the MINT Workshop of the Youth Media Culture NRW, young researchers will discover mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, and technology through hands-on experimentation.

Technology becomes a family experience

It’s not all just dry theory: Participants will craft, code, and develop their own ideas. Depending on the workshop, digital projects, small constructions, or creative applications will be created. Children and young people will experience directly how something of their own grows from imagination, code, and materials.

Age-appropriate learning and tinkering together

The offer is aimed at children and young people aged 10 to 18 years. No prior knowledge is required. This makes the workshop suitable for curious beginners who want to gain initial experiences with programming, digital tools, or technical materials.

Media education with visible success experiences

The fjmk combines creative media work with a child-friendly learning experience. By developing together, curiosity, problem-solving skills, and technical understanding are promoted. Independent experimentation strengthens development and gives participants genuine success experiences. The cooperation with the City Library of Cologne and the funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research emphasize the educational focus of the series.

Safe indoor place for young explorers

The workshop will take place in the training room on the third floor of the interim location. The manageable indoor environment provides space for focused work, questions, and collaborative learning. Everyone interested is welcome, regardless of previous experiences.

Conclusion: A Sunday full of fun learning

The MINT Workshop on Sunday combines a children's event, media education, and creative time together. Amid coding, crafting, and exploring technology, children's laughter, wonder, and new ideas emerge. Families should experience this free family event live at the Central Library in Cologne.
