Curiosity Meets Science: The 21st Children鈥檚 University Inspires!
Bright eyes, curious questions, and countless 鈥渁ha鈥� moments 鈥� that鈥檚 the best way to describe the 21st Children鈥檚 University. Our 39 fourth graders had the chance to experience the fascinating world of science up close for an entire day.
In the three subject areas of physics, chemistry, and biology, the young researchers discovered plenty to marvel at: amazing experiments, exciting hands-on activities, and fascinating observations that sparked wonder. The mix of theory, practice, and fun made the event an unforgettable experience.
A special highlight for the children: from now on, they will regularly explore NaWi (Natural Sciences) in class themselves 鈥� every two weeks for two lessons!
A heartfelt thank-you goes to the dedicated teachers of the upper school 鈥� Ms. Colopy, Mr. Fingerle and Mr. Helldorf 鈥� who made this day possible with their great commitment. And one very special highlight: the appearance of Gecko Georgie, who inspired the children even more with his energy and charm.
Once again, this event showed just how exciting and lively science can be 鈥� and how much joy discovery brings!
Here are a few voices from our young scientists:
- 鈥淭he Children鈥檚 University was totally cool and exciting.鈥� 鈥� Adriana (4b)
- 鈥淭he explosion of the balloon was phenomenal.鈥� 鈥� Conor M. (4a)
- 鈥淢r. Fingerle was so funny and Georgie was so cute!鈥� 鈥� Hazel A. (4a)
