Microbes – bacterial or fungal – are involved in practically every process governing our biosphere. They range from being essential contributors to the global carbon cycle to being inhabitants of our gut biome, where they act as mutualists, commensals or parasites.  In the previous semester, we experimented with various ferments to determine the most promising ones for teaching in schools. Now, we want to develop these experiments into lessons suitable for secondary schools, and try them out as pilot projects in real high school classes together with you. Therefore, we are looking for students who are interested in teaching, science communication, or who have relevant experience. You will gain hands-on experience with multiple fermentation methods, gain in-depth knowledge through guided research, and finally, develop a fully fledged lesson plan in small groups. We or invited guest speakers will give lectures on food safety and the different types of fermentation.
