Today, another round of the Children’s University took place at the University of Halle. Students from various schools were our guests. After an introductory lecture on the world of polymers by BEAM speaker Prof. Dariush Hinderberger, they were able to conduct their own experiments in several small groups. These included experiments with climbing water, rockets with effervescent tablets, paper flowers, and lava lamps.

A nitrogen rocket, launched by our doctoral researchers Sebastian Michler and Annika Blum, provided the grand finale.

As every year, our children’s university took place over the last few weeks.

To this end, we have been out and about in previous kindergartens, for example last Monday in the Waldknuffel kindergarten.

There, for example, the children were busy researching amphiphilicity with pasteur pipettes, beakers and bright colors. The little researchers were eager to discover.

Our BEAM Colloquium took place last Thursday. At this colloquium, we welcome guests who give an input to our BEAM members and interested students.

Prof. Michael Giese was our guest last week. He is Professor of Supramolecular Materials and gave a lecture on the topic “On the Use of Supramolecular Interactions and Dynamic Covalent Bonds – Towards Smart Functional Materials”.

Thank you for being our guest!
