Create, tinker and marvel at the Children's Lab in Gelsenkirchen
The Children's Lab invites families to a lively hands-on course where children aged 6 to 12 can turn their own ideas into small constructions. On September 22, 2026, at 2:30 PM, sawing, measuring, gluing, and hammering will take place at the aGEnda 21 office in Gelsenkirchen – free of charge and with plenty of room for imagination, learning fun, and shared discovery.
A family experience full of ideas and children's laughter
These are not pre-made craft packages, but rather unique works with personality. Whether it's a house, rubber band motor, or guitar: In the Children's Lab, children experience how an idea transforms step by step into something tangible. This strengthens creativity, fine motor skills, and self-confidence – child-friendly, age-appropriate, and with real practical relevance.
Discovering tools, materials, and craftsmanship playfully
The program teaches how different materials work and which techniques assist in building. Drawing, sawing, sanding, assembling, sewing, gluing, and measuring are just as essential as trying out new tools. For children, this is a valuable learning experience because they experience connections directly and develop their own solutions.
Pedagogically sound and with clear guidance
The Children's Lab gives young participants space for their own ideas while guiding them knowledgeably through the building process. According to the event description, the program is suitable for all children aged 6 to 12. The course will be led by Karl Rosenwald and Markus Schilling. For specific questions, Karl Rosenwald is available by phone in advance.
Family-friendly organization
The course is free of charge, but prior registration is required. This makes the family outing easy to plan and accessible. The event takes place at the aGEnda 21 office at Von-Oven-Straße 19 in Gelsenkirchen. The official organizer is the VHS - Adult Education Center of the City of Gelsenkirchen, which adds additional reliability to the offer.
