LEGO Club & Competition
Since August 2025, the Foundation has supported an existing club in which young people develop and programme LEGO robots and prepare for the FIRST LEGO League.

Activities
Overview & Outlook
The Foundation brings together robotics, radio astronomy and real research infrastructure to form a coherent STEM education landscape.
Current Priorities
Four Perspectives on the Same Educational Work
The Foundation supports existing structures, expands science-oriented learning spaces and creates bridges between school education, competition practice and real research.
FUTURA as a Place of Learning
The FUTURA Observatory in Neu Golm is becoming a place where workshops and pupil conferences work with real radio spectra, astronomical data and scientific methods.

Artemis II & Research
The modernised 12-metre antenna was accepted into NASA's Artemis II tracking programme in 2026, linking educational work with an international research environment.

Cooperations
How the activities connect:
- Long-term learning paths
From the LEGO club and project-based formats to astronomy applications close to research. - Strengthening existing structures
The Foundation deliberately builds on established initiatives and creates reliable infrastructure. - Expanding cooperations
Schools, educational partners and external experts are systematically involved.
What the Foundation Currently Enables
The focus is on spaces that can be used over the long term, expert guidance and technical infrastructure. This creates formats that go beyond individual events and offer a continuous perspective for learning and development.
The work remains deliberately practical: teams build and programme, pupils analyse real measurement data, and existing project lines are developed step by step.
Outlook
Step-by-step Expansion of the Foundation's Work
The Foundation is still in its development phase and aims to consolidate existing opportunities, expand cooperations and develop new STEM formats.
1
Consolidating Existing Opportunities
The LEGO club, FIRST LEGO League, FUTURA Observatory and other formats are to be developed further and organised in a way that is sustainable over the long term.
2
Expanding Cooperations Deliberately
Cooperation with schools, educational institutions and existing partners such as SFZ Pankow e.V. is to be intensified and expanded.
3
Opening up New Subject Areas
Additional STEM education opportunities and further practice-oriented project approaches are to be developed over the coming years.
Bringing Scholarships into the Foundation in Future
In the long term, the Foundation plans to establish a scholarship programme to support talented and committed young people. Related support approaches are currently already being implemented outside the Foundation.
The founder currently supports two scholarship holders who emerged from the LEGO club. In future, this form of support is intended to be integrated into the Foundation's work.
Long-term Objective
- Strengthening interest in science and technology
Early enthusiasm for STEM topics through real experience. - Building skills sustainably
Developing technical understanding, teamwork and scientific thinking. - Connecting education with infrastructure
Creating learning places where research is not only explained but actually experienced.
