Diverse event formats
zdi.NRW organizes a state-wide zdi community event at regular intervals. We offer a platform for exchange and networking within and outside the zdi community. The event format can be quite different and took place both online and offline. The zdi community event as a zdi forum was already part of a state-wide congress on the subject of "MINT education in NRW" organized jointly by the education and science ministries. In the BarCamp format, the participants develop ideas together. Keynote speeches on community-relevant topics provide inspiration. In the “Create MINT” hackathon, specific questions are dealt with. Above all, the focus is on one thing: offering the nationwide zdi community the opportunity to exchange ideas.
