Silvania Pereira guest teacher at KinderAcademie Delft

The KinderAcademie is the weekend school in Delft, where children from groups 7 and 8 of the primary school learn about all kinds of different professions. The majority of the children is coming from emigration families or are growing up in a poverty situation. The Kinderacademy aims to inspire the children and help them to broaden their horizons in order to make new choices for their future.

The children who are naturally curious about 'the how and the why' of the world around them, have good qualities to become physicists. Last Sunday, the group studied the subject of light. Silvania Pereira, teacher/researcher ImPhys, explained to the children how they see a rainbow, how a magnifying glass actually works and how 3D images are made on the basis of various experiments.

More information about the KinderAcademie can be found on their website (in Dutch only).
