Ö1 Children’s University Alpbach – Science and technology for kids

-
Von-Hayek-Saal
Breakout /
in deutscher Sprache

This new programme of the Alpbach Technology Forum invites children aged seven to twelve years to solve the questions of “How?” and “Why” in science and technology in an entertaining way. They get a chance to experience research hands-on and ask questions freely, thus gaining access to scientific themes in an enticing, surprising and above all comprehensible way. These are experiences that stimulate children to think and explore further and will also be passed on to a broader audience together with the radio programme “OE1 Children’s University”.

Topic: “Creativity and cosmos: understanding the brain – exploring the universe”

Participants: Only children of participants of the Technology Forum aged 7 to 12 years or children from the village of Alpbach with special invitations may be registered for this special programme. Please note: limited number of participants, registration necessary!
