TUM partner school honored with the MINT21 Digital Award

Girls stem STEM

The Technical University of Munich – that’s top positions in international rankings, millions in acquired third-party funding, research at the highest level. But what’s maybe even more important: TUM is a place that enables young people to develop their talents, without which such achievements would be impossible. That doesn’t only start at university: As part of the “TUM Entdeckerinnen” program, TUM cooperates with schools throughout Bavaria to get girls interested in STEM subjects. One of its partner schools, the Realschule Trostberg, has just been honored with the MINT21 Digital Award.
