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".
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!
Let´s celebrate!

Registration & Info
Reservations by telephone need to be at least 7 days in advance! KEA will open its doors 30 minutes early if you book the cafeteria. If you come for the activity programme only, you and the children may arrive 10 minutes before it starts. Please make sure you leave the cafeteria on time.
The HolidayCollege
Children who want to experience exciting and interesting things during their holidays can attend a challenging weekly programme on various topics.
Each college week is led by 2 lecturers. The team is supported by an additional guest lecturer.
Parental involvement
The intensive cooperation between parents and course leaders is an essential feature of the KinderCollege as well. By pointing out your child's special interests and curiosity, you actively decide on the topics and contents of the college weeks and thus help to pick up your child's ideas and to shape them constructively.

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.
KEA-Courses for pre-school and primary school children
TOGETHER WITH EDUCATORS, PARENTS AND TEACHERS, WE HAVE DESIGNED A PREPARATORY COURSE FOR CHILDREN STARTING SCHOOL, WHICH DOES NOT FOCUS ON ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE, BUT ON TEACHING AND PRACTICING THE NECESSARY SOCIAL SKILLS FOR STARTING SCHOOL. IN THE COURSE, THE CHILDREN CAN OPTIMALLY ADJUST TO THE CHANGES THAT THE START OF SCHOOL BRINGS WITH IT IN AN APPROPRIATE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT (CLASSROOM, LESSON/BREAK RHYTHM, OTHER CHILDREN AND TEACHERS).
THE AIM IS TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD IN TACKLING NEW TASKS, DEALING WITH FAILURE AND NOT DESPAIRING IN THE PROCESS, BUT RATHER LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS WITH THE HELP OF THEIR INDIVIDUAL STRENGTHS AND RESOURCES IN ORDER TO GAIN SELF-CONFIDENCE AND GET TO KNOW THEMSELVES THROUGH EXPERIENCES OF SUCCESS. IN ROLE-PLAYING GAMES, EXPERIMENTING AND RESEARCHING, ON THE EXCURSION AND IN EVERYDAY COURSE SITUATIONS, THE CHILDREN DEVELOP THE FOLLOWING TOPICS IN A PLAYFUL WAY:
- How do I deal with new situations that I don't know yet?
- How do I make friends in a new group of children?
- What do I do when I'm scared?
- How do I behave when there is an argument?
- What do I do if I don't understand a task?
- What am I really good at and where do I still need support?

Preparation course for participation in the Brandenburg regional competition
If you have an exciting idea or question that you would like to explore, then CONTACT us!
"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!
