Features: Those of us who have dedicated our lives to science were also, in our childhood, playing and exploring, asking countless "why" questions, and gradually forging an inseparable bond with science through the guidance of our parents and teachers. The emergence of children's universities undoubtedly provides an opportunity for profound and complex scientific knowledge to permeate downwards, allowing children to truly connect with science.
— Professor Wu Cheng, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Tsinghua University
Children are always filled with curiosity and questions about the world. Now, the 500-year-old Tübingen University in Germany has embarked on an unprecedented attempt: founding the world's first children's university. Renowned authorities, including Nobel Prize winners, have personally taken on the role of instructors, explaining the mysteries of nature to the children of the university in simple, easy-to-understand, and humorous language, causing a sensation.
Two senior editors of 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, complemented by over 200 exquisite illustrations by the "unofficial king of German book illustration," Claus Ensslin. This resulted in the creation of the Children's University book series. The series has published two books so far 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 and has been translated into 8 languages, becoming a bestseller in Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, South Korea, and many other countries.
The books are richly illustrated and explain complex concepts in an easy-to-understand, engaging, and fun way, making them the perfect choice for parent-child reading and science education.
