Description Institute
The Scienteens Lab – De Labo fir Jonker – is the first research lab for highschool students in Luxembourg. It is an extracurricular learning centre of the University of Luxembourg that offers workshops designed to spark the interest of the high-school students in science, show them the latest trends and technologies in research and supports them in their career choice.
Hands-on experiments, supervised by experienced scientists and teachers from various disciplines, provide the students an insight into scientific research and the day-to-day work in the lab. The workshops adress relevant topics in biology, mathematics and physics. -
Description Internship
As an intern, you have the unique possibility to work together with experts in scientific outreach, to support the development of new workshops for highschool students and to teach those workshops. We would like to give you the possibility to learn more about the job of a science educator and to increase your skillset.
