Children’s University 2024

The joy of discovery and learning

Normally only adults sit in Coburg University of Applied Sciences and learn something here.
At our KinderUni, you are the student.
Then you sit in the lecture hall, learn exciting things and ask the professors questions.
Come with us on a journey of discovery!
If you are between 8 and 12 years old, you can take part.
The KinderUni at Coburg University of Applied Sciences has space for 260 children!

Aim of the KinderUni

The aim of the KinderUni is to convey the joy of discovery and learning to children and thus strengthen their awareness that knowledge can also be fun.
The aim is to raise awareness of university as an option for their own future at an early age, especially for children from educationally disadvantaged backgrounds.
To this end, the children are allowed to get a real taste of university life and participate in scientific topics.
In the KinderUni lectures, professors explain questions from everyday life in a playful and child-friendly way with the help of modern science.
Here the little listeners can be amazed at some things.
After all, the KinderUni aims to show how much fun it is to explore the mysteries of this world.

Lectures on September 28, 2024

Digging a deep hole with a shovel is laborious and time-consuming.
Many people have certainly experienced this themselves.
For the construction of underground parking garages, pile foundations for high-rise buildings or tunnels, for example, a lot of soil has to be excavated and moved.
To make civil engineering work easier and faster, people have developed machines.
What does this development in civil engineering look like?
How did people work in the past and what does the work look like today?

We explore the following questions: Why does the eagle see so well?
Why are cats’ pupils not round?
Why do cats have eyes on their school backpacks?
How do insects’ eyes work and can they see heat?

We can only concentrate where it is comfortable.
In a live experiment, you can try out whether you are more of a frostbite or a hot-blooded person.
We will also check whether students have good learning conditions in the university lecture hall and you will find out how you can check this in every classroom.

There are certainly moments when you sometimes find it difficult to find the right words.
In addition to our thoughts, our feelings also play a major role here.
We take a look at what can help you to cope confidently in such difficult situations so that both you and the other person feel good.
