There's something to discover!

What is KEA?

At the KidsEnergyAcademy (KEA), children can come into contact with science and technology at an early age. Enthusiasm and interest in scientific phenomena and laws and their implementation and application in everyday life are awakened within the children. Children who are particularly enthusiastic about technology can be challenged and encouraged at KEA.

KEA is particularly focussing on the topic of "renewable energies" as primary school children show great interest in this topic. We also want to establish a connection between local businesses and our educational institution. KEA is divided into an experimental and an interactive exhibition area.

The Energy Exhibition

The exhibition is intended to enable children to make their own experiences, to experiment, to "grasp" phenomena. In 6 exhibition rooms we have paid special attention with experimental setups and display boards to the key topic of our time: "renewable energies".

The StudentLab

In the KEA laboratory, children can experiment independently. The goal is to get young people interested in science and technology, especially in the energy industry, and to give new impulses for class.

Extracurricular science courses, project days and holiday offers

At KEA, children can start research from the age of 5. For groups of children from daycare centers we create special project programs for the morning. For children from day-care centers we offer various scientific extracurricular courses in the afternoon and during the holidays. School classes can book numerous project days according to the framework curriculum as project days with us or as events at their school.

Of course visitors to the interactive exhibition also have the opportunity to do research in the laboratory and discover new things.

KEA includes a cafeteria with a small kitchen, a lecture hall with a projector, the student laboratory and our 9 interactive exhibition rooms on the topic of "energy".

Science and Technology | Hydro Power | Wind Power | Solar Energy | Bio Energy | Nuclear Power | Muscle Power | Geothermal Energy | Nature Conservation

Extensive playgrounds and green areas enable outdoor activities.

The STUDENT LABORATORY offers the best conditions for experimenting with an entire class, small groups or at individual workstations.

The students have access to modern equipment with work tables made of stainless steel with electricity and water outlets, as well as an extensive laboratory equipment are available!

Science courses for pre-school and primary school children

We offer various courses in the afternoon throughout the school year. Children who want to experience exciting and interesting things in their free time can attend a challenging course program on various topics.

The individualization of learning processes is very important - for highly interested and talented children, positive group experiences are equally important. To achieve this, they always need same leveled developed, i.e. significantly older and peer-aged, but also similarily interested and talented - playmates.

Only in this way can they repeatedly gain the valuable experience of successfully realizing their often complex play ideas together with other children and intensively discussing questions of interest.

In all courses we realize a personnel key of maximum 8 participants per teacher.

Costs

The extracurricular courses cost 45-50 euros/month, including materials and snacks.

Parental involvement

The continuous, intensive cooperation between parents and course instructors is an essential feature of the leisure courses. Project work should be developed by the children themselves. In doing so, the children's interests and family environment play an important role. Support the content of the recreational courses and help to strengthen and expand your children's ideas.

"Jugend forscht" (Youth researches) is a nationwide competition for young researchers that promotes special achievements and talents in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology. Students who want to participate must attend at least the 4th grade. Students up to the age of 14 compete in the junior section "Schüler experimentieren" (Students experiment).
The research topic can be worked on alone or in a group (max. 3 members). In "Jugend forscht" and "Schüler experimentieren" the participants choose their own questions, no topics are given. When working on the project topic, the participants must apply scientific, mathematical or technical methods.
The concept: The course is aimed at primary school children who
1. are interested in participating in the competition with an idea or
2. who want to create an idea together with us and our external supervisors.
During the course, the competition participants have access to the contact personell at EinSteinchen, external specialists and a supervisor. The children will find extensive working materials and all the necessary instruments for working on their research topic in the rooms of the Kinder Energie Akademie (KEA). Supervisors and KEA staff ensure that the exhibits are looked after even on days when the student is not on site (e.g. measurements or maintenance, care of experimental setups). We prepare the participant optimally for the competition, design the booth and accompany them to the competition!
In the last 4 years the participants from EinSteinchen have always been extremely successful as winners of the competition!
