Join us for the first KinderUni in English! And learn how a spaceship can fly through space using water as fuel with Chiara Manfletti, Professor of Space Mobility and Propulsion at the TUM School of Engineering and Design.

How to fuel a rocket with water (in English)

How is that supposed to work? A rocket engine to power a spacecraft, fuelled only with water? As Professor Chiara Manfletti explains in this lecture, water can actually help to make the most of the space adventure for everyone. She also shows how we on Earth benefit from space every day: with phone or car navigation, in agriculture or medicine, or to better understand our weather and climate.

Enroll here: from 1.10.

What is the KinderUni?

The Munich KinderUni offers exciting science lectures and events for children aged 7 to 12 at a different Munich university every semester. There, professors talk about what they are researching and are particularly knowledgeable about. In the winter semester 24/25, it will once again come toTUM.

The events usually last about an hour. Please make sure to be there about 15 minutes earlier. Then you can secure an entry in your student handbook before the lecture begins.

All events: Winter semester 2024/25
