As part of the Children’s University at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, the next lecture in the 2019/2020 winter term will focus on the topic ‘Potatoes, pigs and cows: discovering and understanding agriculture’.
Every single one of us deals with food every day. After all, we eat every day! But how is our food produced? Why is milk white? Don’t cows actually have horns? How long do pigs live? Together with Christian Wucherpfennig, a specialist agriculture teacher at Haus Riswick Technical College in Kleve, the children will embark on a little journey of discovery exploring the world of agriculture.
The event will take place on 15 January 2020 from 5.15 pm to 6.00 pm at the Kleve campus of Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences, Marie-Curie-Straße 1, 47533 Kleve, in the Lecture Theatre Centre, Building 01, ground floor, Audimax. Admission is free and no booking is required.
The Children’s University
Through the Children’s University, Rhein-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 the experts as many questions as they like. The main difference from a proper degree course is that there are no exams to sit.
Come and join us!
Children who are keen to study at the Children’s University can attend either all the lectures or just a few. The Children’s University’s course catalogue can be viewed on the Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences website at www.hochschule-rhein-waal.de/de/veranstaltungen/kinder-uni-0. No registration is required for the lectures. Admission is free.
