Science for Children (Naturvidenskab i børnehøjde)
Grantee: Lea Matthaei, Go Zebra
Amount: DKK 1,836,560
Grant category: Education and Awareness Grants
Year: 2025
Geography: Denmark
Go Zebra is an organization dedicated to stimulating the STEM curiosity of children through educational material with a special focus on engineering and innovation. In the project, it joins forces with researchers Emma Aller (molecular biologist), Abdi Hedayat (conservator), and Tina Ibsen (astrophysicist and science communicator) in developing two free educational courses on evolution and plant science for 3rd-4th grade teachers and pupils. Teachers with a formal STEM education are in short supply, and the two courses will be designed so that they can also be taught by teachers without a STEM specialty. Classes participating in the project will have workshops facilitated by Go Zebra at their schools, and the developed material will become available for free.

Natural Science Area at “Ungdommens Folkemøde” 2026-2028 (Naturvidenskabeligt område på Ungdommens Folkemøde 2026-2028)
Grantee: Camilla Gregersen, Ungdomsbureauet
Amount: DKK 1,260,000
Grant category: Education and Awareness Grants
Year: 2025
Geography: Denmark
The Ungdommens Folkemøde festival in 2026-28 will be expanded with an area designated for STEM and health sciences-related activities, with the overall aim of increasing awareness of the role of science in developing society and solving societal challenges. The focus will be on dissemination from young to young. Engaging activities, such as hands-on experiments, workshops, and talks, will spark curiosity, provide STEM experiences outside the classroom, and allow visitors to meet other young people who are pursuing scientific interests in different ways, as well as STEM professionals. The annual two-day event is visited by 30,000 visitors each year, typically between the ages of 15 to 25.
Digitalt univers til databearbejdning af citizen science-genererede forskningsdata i gymnasiet
Grantee: Marie Rathcke Lillemark, Statens Naturhistoriske Museum
Amount: DKK 1,811,250
Grant category: Education and Awareness Grants
Year: 2024
Geography: Denmark
The Natural History Museum of Denmark, University of Copenhagen will establish a free online platform for high schools to support the education of ‘data literate’ citizens with hands-on skills in answering interdisciplinary questions through scientific methodology. The platform will provide free access for Danish high schools to data obtained in the Next Generation Lab initiative, an ongoing citizen science initiative in which students analyze archaeological findings at the museum’s lab using scientific methods, thereby generating large amounts of raw research data. The portal will enable students from all over Denmark to work directly with this data, guided by new educational material that supports its relevance within or across topics such as biology, biotechnology, chemistry, history, Danish language and literature, physics, and social studies.
Natural Science Marathon (Naturfagsmarathon)
Grantee: Maiken Lykke, Naturvidenskabernes Hus
Amount: DKK 2,000,000
Grant category: Education and Awareness Grants
Year: 2023
Geography: Denmark
This project continues the established ‘Naturfagsmaraton’ which provides a practice-oriented, engineering-inspired approach to STEM education with competitions revolving around real-world challenges, developed in collaboration with Danish companies. The project expands the current program aimed at 5th-6th grade pupils with an annual mini-marathon tailored for younger pupils.

Astronomy and natural science for kids (Astronomi og naturvidenskab i børnehøjde)
Grantee: Mille Marta Andersen, Go Zebra
Amount: DKK 978,420
Grant category: Education and Awareness Grants
Year: 2024
Geography: Denmark
Go Zebra, a non-profit organization dedicated to stimulating children’s curiosity and bridging it to problem-solving and societal challenges through educational material with a special focus on engineering and innovation, joins forces with astrophysicist and science communicator Tina Ibsen in developing a free educational course on astronomy aimed for 4th-grade teachers and pupils. The developed material will become available for free on MeeBook (the learning platform most widely used by Danish schools), and classes participating in the project will have workshops facilitated by Go Zebra at their schools.
The overall ambition is to instill confidence in children that they can understand the world and have the capabilities to solve problems.
