Junior University marks its decade-long presence this year.
In a thrilling display of science, art, and environmental awareness, Junior Uni, a renowned organisation dedicated to inspiring children and young people in science, technology, art, and environmental themes, recently marked a significant milestone - their 10,000th course.
The anniversary course, titled "Fireworks Experts - We're bringing colorful sparks raining down," was a hit among the youngest attendees, particularly the four to six-year-old students. Teacher Roberto Kätker led the children closer to the wonders of natural sciences as they learned about how fireworks work and how to design them sustainably.
During the course, a sustainable and completely harmless ink firework was set off, leaving the students amazed. Milan (5), one of the participants, expressed his delight, saying, "It's like a dream for me. I can't believe this is happening to us."
The celebration was not just about fireworks. The children were also allowed to enjoy the special moment with streamers, party hats, and balloons. Dr. Ariane Staab, CEO of Junior Uni, stated, "We are proud of this milestone."
Junior Uni's approach to education is inclusive, with the goal of inspiring children of all ages, regardless of their origin or educational background. The thirst for knowledge among young people and the importance of providing a practical and playful learning platform were emphasised throughout the course.
While the specific other science-based, playful learning activities offered by Junior Uni's Sustainable Fireworks Course program were not explicitly mentioned in the search results, related activities from similar educational or recreational contexts include nature-based crafts like creating insects from natural items, watercolor painting with water blobs, interactive photography sessions, and learning about wildflowers and local ecosystems.
