Question 1

How do we book a workshop?

Accepted Answer

Each workshop needs a free registration on the ETH wow² registration page, open since October 19. Places are limited and handed out first come, first served, so book early. The open crafting and experimenting needs no registration.

Question 2

Which workshop suits my child?

Accepted Answer

For ages 7 to 9: "Von Raketen, Planeten und Farbexperimenten" (making space pictures from colored solutions, with the Life Science Zurich Learning Center) or "Wie leuchtet die Sonne?" (with astrophysicist Muriel Stiefel). For ages 10 to 12: "Das Geheimnis des Magic Cube" (a team challenge rebuilding after a power outage, by mint & pepper) or "Programmier dein eigenes Space Game" in Python, with ETH doctoral student Clemens Bachmann.

Question 3

Does my child need to understand German?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The workshops are run in standard German (Hochdeutsch), not Swiss German.

What else is on at wow² that day?

Accepted Answer

The workshops are part of ETH's wow² Space program in the main building, which also has talks, science shows, tours and exhibitions for kids and adults. The full program for October 31 is on the ETH website.
