Television, radio, computer or simply electric light - we need electricity for all these things. But how does it work so that there is always enough energy available? Computing Science expert Prof. Dr Sebastian Lehnhoff will answer this question on Wednesday, 13 March at 4.30 pm in the Audimax of the Hörsaalzentrum.
As energy consumption continues to rise, this is a rather tricky question that many scientists are grappling with. They are researching how to make the electricity grid "intelligent". What does that mean? And why are the experts also looking at anthills and schools of fish for their work? Lehnhoff reveals these secrets as he takes the KinderUni students on a journey into the world of energy. Then it's "Researchers learn from animals - what does an anthill have to do with a smart power grid?" This energetic KinderUni lecture is guaranteed to enlighten eight to twelve-year-olds.
Tickets cost 2 euros and are available from Nordwest Ticket GmbH on 0421/363636 and 01805/361136 (14 c/min.) as well as from the NWZ offices. Admission to the lecture theatre centre on Uhlhornsweg is from 4.00 pm. Accompanying adults can follow the event as usual on a screen in the foyer of the building. The Malteser Hilfsdienst will provide security on site.
Anyone who would like to familiarise themselves with the topic of the lecture now has the opportunity to do so in all Oldenburg district libraries and in the youth library (Peterstraße). Special book tables have been set up here.
