Saxon MINT schools honored

On 2 September 2025, Minister of State Conrad Clemens - represented by State Secretary Kühner - honoured 37 Saxon schools in Dresden for their outstanding commitment to mathematics, IT, natural sciences, technology (STEM) and digitalization. 23 schools were honored as "STEM-friendly schools" and 14 schools as "digital schools". Among the schools honored is the Semper-Oberschule, a cooperation school of the TUD.

As a regional partner of the education initiative "MINT Zukunft schaffen!", TU Dresden was actively involved in honoring the schools at HTW Dresden. At the education market, which took place as part of the award ceremony, TU Dresden was able to inform numerous interested STEM teachers and school administrators about offers for schools and, together with the Faculties of Mechanical Science and Engineering , present exciting project days and laboratory explorations at TUD for pupils.
