Features: Those of us who have dedicated our lives to science were once children, playing and exploring in the innocence of childhood. Through countless "whys" born of curiosity and the guidance of parents and teachers, we gradually formed an inseparable bond with science. The emergence of children's universities has undoubtedly provided a chance for profound and complex scientific knowledge to permeate downwards, allowing children to truly connect with science.
— Wu Cheng, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Professor at Tsinghua University
Children are inherently curious and full of questions about the world. Now, the 500-year-old Tübingen University in Germany has embarked on an unprecedented attempt: establishing the world's first children's university. Renowned authorities, including Nobel Prize winners, have taken on the role of lecturers, explaining the mysteries of nature to the children in simple, engaging, and humorous language, causing a sensation.
Two senior editors from the German Schw?bische Zeitung followed the world's first children's university throughout its journey, compiling the lecture notes of the professors into a book. Accompanied by over 200 exquisite illustrations by the "unofficial king of German book illustration," Klaus Ensikat, this series of children's university books was born. The series has already published two volumes and has won multiple awards, including the 2003 German Best Science Book, Best Youth Book, and Most Beautiful Book. It was also nominated for the 2004 German Book Award. Currently, the books have been translated into 8 languages and have become a sensation in Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, South Korea, and many other countries.
The books are richly illustrated and offer in-depth yet easy-to-understand explanations, making them a perfect choice for parent-child reading and science education.
