Children's university around the theme of photography

Academic staff members Daniela Schob and Philipp Maasch take the children on a journey through the history of photography in their lucid lecture. While years ago a darkroom was absolutely necessary to develop images, photography was revolutionized with the introduction of the digital camera. There are no limits to creativity in the interaction of focus, aperture and focal length. Nowadays, it's possible to take stunning pictures even with a smartphone. But not everything that photos show is real. Among other things, the lecture proves how viewers are fooled with deceptively real-looking worlds.

Pupils from the third to sixth grades are invited to attend the Children's University lecture "Painting with Light - from Hobby Photography to Marvel Blockbuster". The 45-minute event begins in Cottbus on Thursday, November 10, at 3 and 5:15 p.m. in theCentral Lecture Hall Building, Audimax 2. Registration is not required.

Background Children's lectures are intended to arouse interest in solving scientific and other problems at an early age, to give children the opportunity to experience the flair of a university. The BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg conveys approaches to solving scientific phenomena of everyday life in a child-friendly, exciting way and thus creates formative experiences and experiences that are also intended to reduce the inhibition threshold to a university in particular.
