A Heart for Science
ZEISS international initiative to encourage young people.
Enthusiasm for nature and technology has always been an integral part of the company's DNA. On the occasion of the
company's 175th anniversary, ZEISS launched 'A Heart for Science' – an international initiative to promote STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) for young people under the age of 18. What makes the initiative
so special is that it is being planned and organized by ZEISS employees. Employees around the world can get socially
involved and pass on their knowledge to the explorers of tomorrow. ZEISS is supporting the commitment of its
volunteers in many different ways. This includes a handbook about the initiative, age-appropriate guided experiments
and a digital platform where volunteers can get together and collaborate on their joint projects. Selected activities are
also being funded.
