ArtCamp Kids / 8. – 12. 8. 2022 

One of this year's novelties is summer art courses for children aged 8–15, organized by the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art called ArtCamp Kids, which will be held on August 8–12.

At ArtCamp Kids, children will have a chance to try one of six art disciplines, develop their talent and acquire new skills, but thanks to cooperation with the Gallery of West Bohemia they will learn about the journey of art works from their conception to the gallery walls. During gallery visits, they will get to conduct a number of creative activities on the gallery premises. They will then apply their new knowledge and skills in presenting their own results at the final exhibition for their families and friends.

Those interested in the summer art courses for children can submit applications by June 30. The application form is available at www.fdu.zcu.cz/artcampkids.

JuniorFEL / 22. – 26. 8. 2022

For the fifteenth time, the JuniorFEL summer school of electrical engineering is being held, intended for middle-schoolers (6th–9th grades) and the corresponding grades at 6- and 8-year grammar schools, i.e., pupils who have at least a fundamental understanding of physics and are primarily interested in electrical engineering and electronics.

The 15th edition of JuniorFEL will traditionally be held at the end of the summer break, from August 22–26. Thematically, it will be a continuation of its earlier editions, with most activities seeing slight modifications. During the week, participants will learn what electricity is, what causes lightning, how they can create and connect an electrical circuit, and how trams and trolleybuses are propelled. Everyone will also try to write a program for a robot, compete in electricity generation and learn how to make an electric paper plane.

Applicants can sign up through the website juniorfel.zcu.cz until May 19. A confirmation that the event is being held and official application forms will be sent out in early June.
