Physics is all around us—and the best way to experience it is firsthand. Our programs invite young people to experiment, ask questions, and discover the fascination of physics up close. 

MINT Explorer Pass

The MINT Explorer Pass of RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau offers children aged 8 to 14 the opportunity to discover mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, and technology in a playful way. At extracurricular learning venues, they can experiment, tinker, and explore their own questions.

Participation in all activities is free of charge. The project runs from April to June 2026 – during this time, stickers can be collected for the MINT Explorer Pass.
