PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, the Children’s University session on 18 January has been cancelled. A new date will be set for the 2017 summer term and announced shortly.
We are surrounded by waves. Some waves are visible, others are not. Since the dawn of humanity, waves have been harnessed and utilised. In most cases, this happens unconsciously, as they are invisible.
In this Children’s University lecture, Marc Kohlen works with the children to make these waves visible. What do such waves look like? How can we use them? By the end of the lecture, one thing will be clear: nothing works without waves.
The Children’s University
Through the Children’s University, Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences offers children aged between eight and twelve the opportunity to develop a passion for the world of science through lectures (45 minutes) specially designed for them. Just like proper students, they are given student ID cards. They sit in lecture theatres and can ask real professors all sorts of questions. The big difference from a proper degree course is that there are no exams to sit.
Get involved!
Children keen to take part in the Children’s University can attend either all the lectures or just a few. The current lecture timetable for the Children’s University can be viewed on the Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences website at www.hochschule-rhein-waal.de. No registration is required for the lectures. Admission is free.
