By Researchers for Children: 2024 Bremen Kids’ University from March 12 to 21

The University of Bremen is inviting children to the 2024 Kids' University from March 12 to 21. Children between the ages of 8 and 12 can take part. Registration is now open.

What do shooting stars have to do with climate change? Is human exploration of Mars possible? What characterizes successful German rap music for children? Which languages shape our everyday lives and why? These and other questions are the focus of the events at Bremen's Kids' University.

With lectures and workshops, the University of Bremen offers two different event formats: The lectures are aimed at class groups of 3rd to 6th graders. They will take place every morning from March 12 to 14. Teachers can now register their school classes via the Kids' University website: www.uni-bremen.de/kinderuni. Participation is free of charge.

The workshops are aimed directly at children between the ages of 8 and 12. They will take place during Bremen's Easter vacation from March 19 to 21. This is where girls and boys can become young researchers themselves. For example, they can build solar-powered vehicles, explore together whether emotions can be tamed, or tinker creatively with robots. The workshops are held in small groups of up to 20 people. Tickets are available now for one euro each online via the Kids' University website at www.uni-bremen.de/kinderuni or from Nordwest Ticket.
