New adventure for little researchers: Children's University of Erfurt starts on October 17th
In Erfurt, an exciting new chapter for hungry children will soon begin. On October 17, 2023, the children's university Erfurt opens its doors and offers young people the opportunity to immerse themselves in university life. In real lecture halls, the participants can ask exciting questions and let their curiosity run wild, just like the "big ones". Admission is free and registrations are already possible.
The program promises a varied range of topics that not only make you curious, but also answer important life questions. The children expect exciting lectures and workshops in the Helios Clinic and at the University of the University of Erfurt. Here is the motto: learning with fun and joy! An example from the program: How is a chocolate bar related to the weather? Many students could hear this question, just like the stories about Amplonius and its impressive book collection. Such topics combine knowledge with a touch of adventure.
diverse topics for explorers
The offers are aimed at children of all ages from 5 to 15 years and are designed to address different interests. A real eye -catcher within the program will be a real ambulance. Here the participants can not only take a look at the vehicle, but also learn how they can help in emergencies - an important topic that may even save lives.
Another exciting point is the topic of blood circulation. The children learn how the heart works and what crucial work it does to supply the oxygen of our body. These are basic knowledge that everyone should understand in order to better assess their own health.
The curriculum also includes the fascination of magnetism and the exciting world of insects, which are often overlooked, but play an essential role in our ecosystem. In addition, the puzzle around the "appendix" is solved-a fascinating anatomy question that many could move. To do this, the children are invited to do research themselves and actively participate.
Participation in the children's university is light and uncomplicated. To ensure that the places for the events are quickly awarded, it is advisable to register early. This applies to both individual registrations and groups of school classes. Details on the events and registration can be found on the official website of the children's university at www.kinderuni-erfurt.de . If you don't want to miss anything, you also have the opportunity to register for the "loop" newsletter. There is all current information and news about the children's university.
The organizers are available for further questions. Kristin Thieme can be reached via phone atknowledge connects generations
The children's university Erfurt is more than just a way for young people to acquire knowledge-it also creates a connection between the generations. While the children start new information, parents and other adults can also dive into the adventure by participating or support. It is an initiative that promotes both education and community, and thus makes an important contribution to promoting young people.
Promote interest in scientific subjects
In today's world, it is particularly important to promote children's interest in scientific and technical subjects. The children's university in Erfurt not only offers entertainment, but also a valuable platform to arouse curiosity and enthusiasm for science. In view of the global shortage of skilled workers in the MINT areas (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology), it is crucial to involve children at an early stage.
For example, statistics show that fundamental interest in mathematics and natural sciences already awakens in primary school age. According to the report of the "Foundation Education", the earlier is awakened, the higher the likelihood that children will later take up training or studying in these areas. Such initiatives encourage children to ask questions and develop critical thinking. These skills are not only academically valuable, but also important for their future career.
diverse topics for all ages
The program of the children's university is designed in such a way that it appeals to different age groups and covers a wide range of topics. From biological topics, such as the functioning of the heart, to physical phenomena such as magnetism, every event offers opportunities for practical experience and learning.
Special attention also applies to the didactic methods: Scientists and lecturers use descriptive explanations, interactive experiments and clear material in order to make complex topics tangible. Such methods help deepen understanding and make the learning process more appealing. By getting in touch with real applications of theory, such as when visiting an ambulance, you get a specific picture of how knowledge is used in practice.
The importance of early education
The early promotion of education is an important topic in many education systems, not only in Germany. Stiftung Warentest points out that children who are already promoted in preschoolers in preschoolers perform significantly better in their later school and professional career. Initiatives such as the Children's University in Erfurt play an important role here by not only conveying knowledge, but also promoting social interactions that are crucial for the personal development of young people.
A current study by the Bertelsmann Foundation emphasizes that extra-curricular educational offers that the children's university offers help help reduce barriers and promote equal opportunities. Children for different social backgrounds have the opportunity to participate equally in high -quality educational offers. This not only promotes individual learning, but also understanding for learning in a community.
