pepperMINT Experimentation Lab in Liechtenstein
Located on Vaduzer Landstrasse, the pepperMINT Experimentation Lab is a place where children learn to engage with STEM subjects—Mathematics, Informatics, Natural Sciences, and Technology—through playful exploration. Here, they screw, drill, program, and experiment, all while learning in a fun and interactive environment.
The various modules are aligned with the school curriculum and can be booked by teachers to complement their current lessons. The program is free for all schools in Liechtenstein, and the enthusiastic response from both students and teachers speaks volumes.
“pepperMINT is extremely successful and serves as a beacon of innovation.”
Public-Private Partnership: A Strong Foundation
pepperMINT stands on a solid foundation, funded through a public-private partnership. Public institutions such as the state, municipalities, and business associations support pepperMINT alongside private companies. The Hilti Foundation has been a key supporter from the very beginning, contributing not only financially but also serving as a vital strategic partner for the project.
“We are proud that pepperMINT is supported long-term by so many partners.”
— Klaus Risch, President of the MINT Initiative Liechtenstein Foundation
All stakeholders agree that the appeal of pepperMINT broadens the horizons of children and adolescents. In the Experimentation Lab, they experience the vast array of possibilities, and some have even discovered their future career aspirations. In this sense, pepperMINT helps uncover and actively promote hidden talents.
