TUM Entdeckerinnen: STEM experience at university
We regularly offer workshops for the TUM Entdeckerinnen program during the first three weeks of the Bavarian summer holidays. In the following, you will find a selection of past and upcoming workshops.
Registration opens soon! Please visit TUM Entdeckerinnen for registration.
Step into the world of AI, data science, and engineering – no experience needed.
In this two-day summer course, you’ll explore how technology shapes the world through fun, hands-on projects and real-world examples. Analyze climate change data, discover how AI language models like ChatGPT work, predict movie trends, and design ideas for your own apps and media tech. You’ll also tour TUM’s campuses, meet inspiring role models, and learn about exciting career paths.
Whether you’re curious or already interested, this workshop will help you discover what’s possible — and where you might fit in.

The Professorship AI Planning in Dynamic Environments offers a robotics workshop for TUM Entdeckerinnen. The Workshop addresses school girls close to their graduation who are considering studying a MINT study program. We will build robot fingers and program them. The workshop is designed for 16 to 18-year-old girls.

Together with the Professorship of Bio-inspired Information Processing, discover exciting and surprising forms of electricity. On the first day, we will show you how electricity works, and we will do experiments with light, motion, and sound. On the second day, you will learn more about electric signals in your body and why they are important for muscles and senses. We measure the current in your arms, design and build pressure sensors similar to your fingers, and show you how hearing is like with a cochlear implant. The workshop is designed for 11 to 12-year-old girls.
