Kinder Academy

Scientists from various disciplines have their say and show how exciting science can be.

The lectures are designed for children ages 8 to 12. They last about three-quarters of an hour. Just like at a real university, the young students also receive a student ID card where they can collect attendance stamps. At the end of the semester, those who collect as many of these stamps as possible receive a Kinder Academy Diplom.

For Polish children, all lectures in Görlitz are simultaneously translated. The Görlitz Kinder Academy is a joint event organized by Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and the Senckenberg Museum of Natural History in Görlitz. In Görlitz, the lectures take place alternately at the university and at the Senckenberg Museum of Natural History in Görlitz; in Zittau, however, they are held in the New Lecture Hall Building on the university campus.

Parents are not permitted in the lecture hall during the lectures. Participation is free of charge and at your own risk.
