Profile
Write an emailJörg Gutschank teaches physics, mathematics and robotics at Leibniz Gymnasium | Dortmund International School.He found his vocation as a teacher in a roundabout way: he studied and did his doctorate in physics in Dortmund and Galway. He also worked as a trainer in a children's circus.
Together with Marcus Weber, a physicist friend, he decided to bring science and his hobby together. At the European festival 'Physics on Stage' in Geneva in 2000, they presented a physics show with interactive experiments - the birth of the 'Physikanten & Co'. In 2004, Jörg Gutschank switched to teaching. He has been involved with Science on Stage since the beginning of the initiative with 'Physics on Stage'.
