12.08.2014: On August 12, at 9:30 h the first Summer School, organized by the GFZ GeoWunderWerkstatt GWW, entitled “Beneath our Feet - a Soil Workshop” gets off to a start.
15 children between the ages of eight and twelve will spend three days together with the GWW team researching the fascinating topic of soil. They will use a Pürchhauer hammer to extract a soil sample, determine different types of soil, watch the soil breath, carry out interesting experiments, enjoy a short visit to one of the GFZ laboratories and conclude with a small exhibition of their work.

On the last day of the summer course the families and friends of the participating children are invited to view the results of the research work in the front hall of the GFZ library. The exhibition will remain there for three weeks.
