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.
