Inspiring Young People for Science
Kniffelix is an online offering from the Technical University of Hamburg, which aims to inspire young people and all interested individuals aged 8-99 for science and technology. As part of the Kniffelix project, we want to encourage children and young people to experiment and provide insights into the degree programs and research at TU Hamburg, and depending on future funding, also into professions and topics of other cooperation partners from universities and industry.
