Can I sit with my child during the lectures?

No. The lecture room is kept for kids, and adults follow on a stream in a side room with only a few seats. The organizer asks for no more than one adult per child.

Do we have to stay the whole day?

No. The climate workshop and the experiment tables run the whole time, so you can come for one lecture and a table or two and head home.

Is there more KinderUni after this day?

Yes. KinderUni Lichtenberg continues with free one-hour lectures at HTW Berlin, Treskowallee 8, on Fridays and Saturdays through late November, on topics from AI to sound.

About

KinderUni Lichtenberg brings university professors to kids, and this science day opens its fall season in the Hohenschönhausen library. Two short lectures ask how water works and whether lies always get found out. Between them, kids drop in at hands-on tables: optical illusions that make a coin vanish, and a climate workshop run by Omas for Future. Everything is in German, so it suits kids who follow spoken German well.
