KinderCampus 2025
An adventure day for the whole family
Discover, try out, join in, marvel and play - that's the motto of the KinderCampus. The university cordially invites you and your families to join us on 20 September between 11.00 and 16.00.
There will be a welcome event for children at 11.00 a.m. in the Audimax in building A14. You can download the entire programme here. All events are free of charge.
Please note: You must register in advance for some of the activities if you want to take part. This also applies to the two exciting short lectures in the university's largest lecture theatre, which are aimed at schoolchildren aged between eight and twelve. Registration is possible from Monday, 25 August.
Lectures
There is so much to explore in the world. This year, you can learn about the diversity of the sea and about democracy at the KinderCampus. Two exciting lectures await you in the Audimax, the university's largest lecture theatre. Please register for the individual dates from 25 August.
Your parents can watch a live broadcast of the lectures right next door (no registration required).
Further programme
You will not only gain insights into the exciting world of science during lectures. You can try out interesting things at various locations on our campus.
For example, have you ever been in an acoustic labyrinth, made your own paper or tried out a dinosaur AR model? No? Then look forward to an exciting discovery tour.
Frequently asked questions
Here you’ll find answers to the most important questions. If you have any other enquiries, you can contact us by email. Please feel free to email us at .
Where does the KinderCampus take place and how do I get there?
On this day, the Haarentor campus will become the KinderCampus. Many of the activities will take place in Building A14, our lecture centre shown in the photo. The address is Uhlhornsweg 86, 26129 Oldenburg.
The easiest way to get there is by bike. There are plenty of bike racks in front of the building. Bus routes 306 and 310 also go to the university. Coming by car? There’s a multi-storey car park directly opposite the lecture centre. There are plenty of additional parking spaces at buildings V02 and V04 at Ammerländer Heerstraße 136–138. There is another car park in building A55 at Haarenfeld 16. From there, you can walk to the lecture centre.
The rooms are well signposted, so you can’t get lost. But we’re always on hand to help and show you the way. You’ll recognise us by our yellow vests.
I am not yet 8 years old, can I still come to the KinderCampus?
Of course! The age indication 8 to 12 years is only a recommendation for attending the lectures. But you can also experience a lot here.
Are adults allowed to attend lectures in the Audimax?
The seats in the lecture theatre are reserved for you children. Parents and accompanying persons are welcome to use the time for a break - e.g. with a coffee in the cafeteria. There will also be a live broadcast of the lectures in an adjacent seminar room. Adults can follow the lectures here.
You are welcome to attend most of the other events together with your parents.
The offers requiring registration on the website are already fully booked. Can I still come?
It's always worth taking a look at the fully booked events. Maybe there is still a place available.
Hunger & thirst
Of course, we’ve thought of that too. The Studierendenwerk Oldenburg will be opening its cafeteria for you from 11.00 am to 4.00 pm. Here you can buy drinks, cakes and ice cream, sandwiches, a hot lunch and salad. There’s coffee for your parents too. You can also take your food to the university canteen.
Eating is not permitted in the lecture theatre or seminar rooms.
What exactly is the KinderCampus ID card and what do I need it for?
Every child taking part in KinderCampus will receive a KinderCampus pass. You can collect this from the information desk in the lecture centre. You can get a stamp for every activity you take part in at KinderCampus. Anyone who has collected at least three stamps can collect a surprise from the information desk.
So look after your pass carefully and make sure you collect stamps at the various stations.
Do I need to bring anything to the KinderCampus?
You will need your trainers for the university sports activities in building S.
For the "Screen printing" workshop, bring a printable item of clothing or a piece of fabric from home, for example a light-coloured T-shirt or a jute bag. You must register in advance for this offer.
