The Children’s Campus
Presentet by the AOK Bremen/Bremerhaven
Kids’ science labs and plenty of hands-on activities to try out
On the Children’s Campus, even the youngest visitors can make the most of the day,
whether binding a notebook or delving into neuroscience. In the hands-on tent, they become researchers themselves.
In addition, there will again be a wide selection of
outdoor play equipment, face painting, and a balloon artist this year.
There is lots to look forward to!

Please keep an eye on your children and remember your duty of supervision!
Explorer Passport – the OPEN CAMPUS Stamp Challenge
You can pick up an Explorer Passport book at the Children’s Campus or the information point.
Visit the various stations and complete small tasks or answer simple quiz questions.
Once you’ve collected stamps, you can pick out a small prize at the Children’s Campus.
It’s definitely worth joining in!

matelier – the Math Atelier at the University of Bremen
Mathematical Explorations with the matelier
The matelier offers hands-on math for people of all ages, and visitors can work together to solve puzzles and discuss different solutions. If you are looking for a bit of exercise, you can also explore math on campus with an app-based scavenger hunt.

The Brain
How does the brain work? At this exhibit, you can use puzzles and games to learn about your brain and find out how it thinks, feels, and sees. You can also take a look at the actual “electrodes” we use to measure brain activity.
Children's University Lectures

Professor Justus Notholt & Dr. Anja Schönhardt
Physics Circus
Do you think physics is dry? Then you might be mistaken! Those interested can see for themselves at this entertaining physics show. The show is aimed at all those who enjoy experimenting, especially schoolchildren, parents, teachers, and students. The program features amazing experiments that involve spinning tops, exploding soda bottles, and liquid nitrogen, among other things. The experiments are not only demonstrated, but also explained in an easy-to-understand way, leaving viewers amazed as well as entertained – and informed. Perhaps some might realize that physics is not actually all that dry and boring.

Dr. Maya Dalby
Research on the High Seas
Without water, there is no life. The vast majority of our planet is covered by ocean. The ocean shapes our air, our weather, and our climate. It provides us with food, transportation, recreation, energy, and much more. How do we study the ocean, and why is it important?

Asteroids and Maps: How Mathematicians Saw the World 200 Years Ago
Two hundred years ago, the famous mathematicians Gauss, Olbers, and Bessel exchanged fascinating letters about new discoveries, strange celestial bodies, and the surveying of the world. In this lecture, we will take a journey back in time together and discover how they lived and worked. We will take a look at how mathematics was used back then to identify and correct measurement errors. And maybe we will even run into a certain “Mr. Gauss,” who can tell us firsthand what it was like to conduct research and make new discoveries back then.
Photography and Video Recordings
OPEN CAMPUS is a public event where photographers from the University will take pictures and videos. The University reserves the right to use these photos and videos both on its website as well as on its social media platforms. We document and illustrate our event by reporting online and in print.
