Location: Hanau, Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Funded by: Google<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hardware Partner: Epson (projectors);<\/strong> Miri by Campustore (immersive space)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kathinka-Platzhoff-Stiftung<\/a> is an educational foundation in Hanau, Germany, with around 150 employees, working across childcare, primary schooling, and STEM education. With a long track record of giving young people hands-on research opportunities, the foundation has always sought to explore and innovate how learning can happen – not just in the classroom, but in everyday local and community spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the foundation\u2019s leadership learned about immersive learning spaces through a conversation with Epson\u2019s education specialists, a new idea began to take shape. There was an opportunity not only to enhance their STEM education offering, but also to reach new audiences who might never walk through the doors of a traditional science lab, or who may think that STEM is a subject that is either irrelevant or closed to them – by placing an immersive space at the heart of the city\u2019s public library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe also had the idea to inspire new target groups about STEM via the immersive learning space – to get people interested in STEM who wouldn\u2019t come to the lab to do research right no<\/em>w.”<\/p>\nRalf Schlosser, STEM Leader, Kathinka-Platzhoff-Stiftung<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Funded by Google and built with Epson projection hardware and a Miri<\/strong><\/a> immersive space, the project became one of the first of its kind in Germany dedicated to STEM education. It is located in Hanau\u2019s Kulturforum public library, making it freely accessible to the whole community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more about how your school can start building accessible, scalable, immersive learning experiences, schedule a free call with our Education Specialists.<\/p>A Foundation Built on Educational Innovation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
