A lab for high school pupils
The Scienteens Lab – De Labo fir Jonker – is the first research lab for high-school students in Luxembourg. It is an extracurricular learning centre of the University of Luxembourg that offers interactive workshops designed to spark their interest in science, show them the latest trends in research and supports them in their career choice.
We welcome classes from all over the Greater Region (Luxembourg, France, Germany and Belgium). Hands-on activities, supervised by experienced scientists and teachers, give participants an insight into scientific research and the day-to-day in the lab. Our 20 workshops address relevant topics in four disciplines.
“Teach me and I remember.
Involve me and I learn.”
