Then studying physics could be just the right thing for you! On April 22, 2021 – Future Day 2021 – you can learn how to become a physicist and what you can do with such a degree at an online event of the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) Hannover and the Institute for Gravitational Physics of Leibniz Universität Hannover.

Note for parents

Dear parents,
our offer is suitable for students in grades 8 to 10. We would be happy if your children register with us themselves. Of course you can support your offspring, but in the interest of all potential participants we ask you to pay attention to the passions of your children. Are your children really interested in physics or do they just want to spend Future Day with their best friend?
