What do we need energy for? Is it possible to look through non-transparent objects? How is a skyscraper built, and what will a future vehicle look like? Answers to these and many other questions will be provided by the 2013 Children’s University of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). From August 2 to 22, children aged from eight to twelve may join a total of nine presentations, one opening fair, and a diploma celebration at the Audimax on KIT’s Campus South and, thus, experience science and technology. From now on, tickets for the presentations and diploma celebration will be available.

 

In close partnership with society, KIT develops solutions for urgent challenges – from climate change, energy transition and sustainable use of natural resources to artificial intelligence, sovereignty and an aging population. As The University in the Helmholtz Association, KIT unites scientific excellence from insight to application-driven research under one roof – and is thus in a unique position to drive this transformation. As a University of Excellence, KIT offers its more than 10,000 employees and 22,800 students outstanding opportunities to shape a sustainable and resilient future. KIT – Science for Impact.
