Here you’ll find helpful answers to questions about our events.
If this is your first time attending a Children’s University session, we’ll give you your very own student card, which you’ll need to bring with you to the next lectures. Every child will also receive a stamp card. You’ll get a bonus stamp on this card for every lecture you attend. If you’ve collected at least four stamps during an academic year or lecture series, you’ll receive the Children’s University diploma and a little surprise at the final lecture to reward your hard work.
A total of six children’s university sessions are taking place this year. These are usually held on a Saturday between 10.00 and 11.15. Almost all the events take place in the lecture theatres in the Gerhard Neumann Building at the HSMW (Building 5). The building is easy to get to, and there’s plenty of parking for your family either there or by the Schwanenteich. Speaking of which: your parents and grandparents are warmly invited to watch the event from the neighbouring lecture theatre. We’re sure there’ll be plenty of ‘aha’ moments for the whole family.
All our children’s universities are in-person events that thrive on direct interaction. Experiments are much more fun when you experience them in person. But to make sure your (grand)parents in the neighbouring lecture theatre can follow along too, there’s a live stream to that room. You might even spot them on the screen and wave to them… The live stream won’t be published online.
Of course! To make sure you don’t miss any more news, why not sign up for our newsletter? Don’t worry – you won’t be inundated with newsletters, and you can unsubscribe at any time. You can sign up via this link.
In principle, there is no age limit for our events, as science should be accessible to everyone. We recommend that you be at least of pre-school age to be able to follow the lectures properly.
Advance registration for our lectures in the lecture theatre is essential, as seating is limited. Please use our ticketing system for this, which you can find in the menu under ‘Registration’. We want everyone to be able to take part in the Children’s University. That is why participation is, and will remain, free of charge. Accompanying adults (such as parents or grandparents) do not need to register and can follow the event via livestream in the neighbouring lecture theatre.
Good to know!

Cheat sheet
For lasting knowledge: After every lecture, we’ll give you a knowledge card as a gift. This way, you can gradually build up your own Children’s University cheat sheet. Each knowledge card contains the key points on the topic of the lecture – explained clearly and with plenty of examples. If you’ve missed a lecture, you can download your cards here.
Partnerships
Working together for children’s future: The Children’s University thrives on strong partnerships. Together with schools, businesses and other organisations, we create exciting learning opportunities that inspire children’s interest in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

Experience that ‘aha’ moment in a range of other interesting formats at the HSMW: whilst the Controversial Dialogue (Dialog Kontrovers) series sees current topics discussed with various experts, the lecture series features fascinating talks that shed light on the world of science. As always, clarity and mutual exchange are the top priorities.
