Gauß Junior Lab

On thursday, the 12th September 2019, more than 30 little researchers came to the introductory event of the Gauß Junior Club at the Leibniz University Hannover.

After being introduced to the fascinating world of Rubik’s Cubes by Dr. Jil Klunder, they got to know their “research groups” and solve the first problem. Every week the primary school children will now face mathematical challenges in the Kaiser-Wilhelm and Ratsgymnasium with the teachers. Before they went home, there was a photo shooting in the Lichthof of the Welfen Castle.

We wish everyone a lot of fun!   

  In cooperation with the Ministry of Education and the Arts, the Lower Saxony State School Board and Prof. Dr. Hasemann of the Leibniz University Hannover uniKIK started the project “Gauß JuniorClub”  on 24.02.2005 in order to promote gifted pupils in mathematics.

  The goal of the project is the promotion of mathematically interested and gifted children in their 3rd and 4th year of primary school. In cooperation with socially engaged teachers the pupils from small groups, in which once a week their mathematical interests and gifts are being promoted and developed.  

Due to the limited capacity, currently only pupils from primary schools in the city region of Hannover can participate in the group.  After invitation by the Lower Saxony State School Board, Hannover Department, the children are registered once a year by these schools. A selection procedure then takes place under the supervision of the University of Hannover.
