Background
Children's lectures are designed to awaken an interest in solving scientific and other problems at an early age and give children the opportunity to experience the flair of a university. BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg gives schoolchildren from the third to sixth grades the opportunity to get a taste of university life and teaches them how to solve everyday scientific phenomena in a child-friendly, exciting way. This stimulates formative experiences that awaken the youngest children's interest in science and reduce their inhibitions about university.
