Climate, Coasts, and Sea: Exciting Kids' University in Braunschweig
Why is the sea level rising? How do salt marshes, grass dikes, and sand dunes protect the coastline? And how can wind turbines generate electricity offshore? At Kids' University 2026, children will discover the fascinating connection between climate, nature, and technology in the Audimax of the Technical University of Braunschweig.
Experiencing Science Clearly and Age-Appropriately
Prof. Dr. Nils Goseberg from the Leichtweiß Institute for Hydraulic Engineering will clearly explain how climate change is altering seas and coasts. The age-appropriate lecture is aimed at children between 8 and 12 years old, encouraging wonder, engagement, and questions. This transforms complex research into an exciting learning experience with real-world relevance.
When Waves Protect and Wind Provides Energy
The focus is on storm surges, rising sea levels, and how humans can make coasts safer. The children will learn why salt marshes slow down waves, how beach grass stabilizes sand dunes with its strong roots, and the role of wind and waves in energy generation.
Discovering Habitats and Developing Responsibility
The marine wildlife will also be discussed. Kids' University connects environmental knowledge with child-friendly science communication, fostering curiosity, understanding, and a sense of responsibility for nature and climate. The shared family experience conveys knowledge without pressure to perform and makes sustainability tangible.
A Safe Environment for Curious Junior Students
The 45-minute lecture takes place in the Audimax of TU Braunschweig. As an event for children and families, it provides a structured, protected setting in which young visitors can meet real researchers and bring in their own questions. Participation is free, but registration is required.
Conclusion: Researching, Wondering, and Understanding Together
This Kids' University promises children's laughter, exciting moments of realization, and shared time with genuine learning enjoyment. Families will experience how science helps to better understand and protect seas and coasts. Mark the date now and experience the Kids' University live in the Audimax.
