How do trees talk? What happens when we move? How are bridges built? Why do I resemble my parents? How does the heart work? These and many other issues will be covered by the 10th KIT Children’s University of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The series of presentations for young researchers aged from 8 to 12 will take place from August 3 to 24, 2012. The program includes nine presentations and 15 workshops.
