Science Meets Creativity: Great Discoveries for Little Researchers in Göttingen

Science Meets Creativity: A Fall Holiday Week Full of Discoveries

When curious children observe, draw, and imaginatively create, the Forum Wissen in Göttingen becomes an inspiring learning place. During the holiday program from October 20 to 23, 2026, children aged 9 to 13 will discover how closely scientific research and creative ideas are connected.

Exploring the Spaces of Knowledge with Open Eyes

At the beginning, precise observation is key. The children practice noticing shapes and details while drawing, gathering impressions and comparing their observations. This child-friendly learning experience strengthens concentration, curiosity, and the ability to ask questions.

Objects Turn into New Stories

With sharpened observation, they then embark on an exploration tour through the spaces of knowledge. Scientific objects stimulate the imagination and take on entirely new meanings. For example, an embryo can become an ear. Together, participants consider where an object might come from and what story it holds.

Creativity, Exchange, and Joint Creation

The holiday program combines scientific discovery with drawing, comparing, and free invention. Children try out their own ideas, develop personal perspectives, and experience how a common project emerges from individual thoughts. At the end of the holiday week, a small gallery with the creative works is created.

Aged Appropriately and Educationally Valuable

The offer is aimed at children aged 9 to 13 years or students in grades 4 to 6. The activities are designed to be age-appropriate and promote observational skills, expressive abilities, independence, and collaborative learning. The limited number of twelve places creates a manageable framework for focused work and personal support.

Important Information for Families

The holiday program runs daily from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Forum Wissen. Children are requested to bring their own snacks and provisions for lunch. Registration at info@forum-wissen.de is required. The program is free of charge.

As a knowledge museum of the University of Göttingen, Forum Wissen offers a variety of educational programs for children and young people. Entrance, guided tours, and workshops are free of charge. Families experience a safe, stimulating environment where children can independently discover, question, and creatively design content.

Conclusion

This fall holiday week offers children shared time, children’s laughter, and true discovery joy. Those who want to not only look at science but also think further with their own ideas will experience a special family experience at Forum Wissen, filled with learning fun, imagination, and a self-created gallery as a keepsake.
