Why not get acquainted with the university in childhood? The Children's University makes it possible. In lectures lasting one hour on average, professors answer exciting knowledge questions. Since 2007/2008, both universities offer one or two lectures each semester for children between the ages 8-12.
Children's University for the summer semester 2020
How can we explore space?
The event will not take place in the summer semester 2020. The event will be postponed. A catch-up date will be announced.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sabine Klinkner
Institute for Space Systems
University of Stuttgart
Why do we want to explore space and where does it even begin? What challenges are involved in constructing instruments for exploring space? Why is space travel necessary? Professor Klinkner will be answering these questions and many more. She will also show you satellites that have been developed at the University of Stuttgart and demonstrate what these can do.
And get ready for a special treat - during the lecture you will even get to see a moon rover in action and discover what rover systems need to be capable of and why they drive much slower than your remote control cars at home.
Event language: German
Auditorium 47.01 at the University of Stuttgart’s Campus Vaihingen is reserved for children only during the lecture. Accompanying adults can watch the lecture via video broadcast in the adjoining auditorium 47.02. Both auditoriums are located at Pfaffenwaldring 47 on Campus Vaihingen.
For anyone who misses out on tickets, here is a small consolation: The lectures at the University of Stuttgart are streamed live on the internet and then stored as a downloadable video.
Please note: We position cameras in the auditorium so that we can broadcast the lectures live on the internet and make them available for downloading. The cameras are set up to show the children only from the back, i.e. they are not identifiable. Only in case children turn around or lend the professor a hand up front may they be recognizable. We also take still photos on which the children – possibly along with other young students – may be identifiable. These stills can also be called up later on the Internet.
To stream the live transmission a data transfer rate of at least 1.5 Mbit/s is required and recommended. Streaming starts on the respective day of the event at 4 pm.
Ticket orders
Online registration is only possible via the Stuttgarter Zeitung.
