Welcome to PHÄNOMENTA.
Who knows what MINT stands for? MINT is not a green-blue color, nor is it a mint-flavored toothpaste. If you guessed it’s an abbreviation of a technical college in the USA, you’re getting closer but still not quite there.
For those who are puzzled by this question, rest assured: you’re not alone. According to a 2022 survey, only about one in two Germans knows that MINT stands for Mathematics, Informatics, Natural Science, and Technology. To bring these four scientific fields out of the "nerd" corner, where they are still often placed, science centers like PHÄNOMENTA in Flensburg create exciting worlds of experience.
Inspiring a Love for Discovery and Research
Our goal is to bring the fascination of natural sciences and the joy of discovery and research to everyone. And when we say "everyone," we mean it. Whether you’re 13 or 73 years old, with family, colleagues, friends, or a sports team: in life, curiosity never ends. Especially with increasing digitization, tactile experiences are becoming more important than ever – whether for balancing everyday life, fostering motor and cognitive skills, igniting enthusiasm for science-related careers, or understanding our reality with all our senses.
That’s why we warmly invite you to visit us at the Flensburg Nordertor and follow your natural curiosity. Let’s seize the opportunities to continually rediscover our world together.
