Case Study: Kathinka-Platzhoff-Stiftung brings STEM to life with ThingLink immersive learning

Kathinka-Platzhoff-Stiftung launches immersive STEM learning space in Hanau with ThingLink for 150 staff

Kathinka-Platzhoff-Stiftung, an educational foundation in Germany, faced the challenge of making STEM education accessible and engaging for young people disengaged from traditional science, while also addressing a critical gap in digital safety awareness. They needed a content platform that was easy to use for both educators and students to create meaningful experiences for their new immersive learning space funded by Google and built with Epson hardware.

The foundation chose ThingLink as their content creation platform because of its user-friendly yet functionally deep interface. Using ThingLink, they developed interactive learning journeys on environmental science and online safety, which were deployed in a public library to reach new audiences. The solution successfully engaged students in collaborative learning, exposed digital literacy gaps, and empowered students to become content creators themselves. ThingLink's platform-agnostic content also allows the foundation to easily share its approach with other institutions.
