Dear teachers, headmasters and environmental education enthusiasts!

Ants are the perfect “starter insects” for the classroom – they are fascinating, easy to observe, and offer an exciting gateway into the world of insects. Anyone who takes a closer look at them discovers not only their incredible diversity, but also gains a deeper understanding of why insects are essential to our ecosystem.

With Discover Ants, you’ll experience interactive programs about ants and other insects – and bring Citizen Science directly into your classroom. Whether it’s exciting observations, playful explorations, or real scientific research – our programs make science come alive and tangible.

Why is this important? Your students don’t just learn about scientific thinking and research – they actively contribute! They collect real data, explore the insect world, and experience science up close.
