Discover Science – HNEE’s Children's University
Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at our university, or what our professors do all day? You will find the answers at our annual Children's University.
Our aim is to spark an early interest in science among primary school children. That’s why, once a year, we host the Children's University in partnership with the Barnim-Uckermark Community Foundation. We warmly welcome Year 5 and 6 classes to visit our campus, get to know the university, and experience science up close.
