Discover the world through stories: MINT-Reading on Saturday in Cologne-Kalk
When children listen closely to the first words, a special learning experience begins: At the MINT-Reading on Saturday in the district library Kalk, child-friendly stories are combined with first discoveries from mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, and technology. This free family experience is aimed at preschool children and elementary school students aged 4 to 8 years.
Reading, wondering, and becoming curious
The reading offers children a playful approach to MINT topics. Pictures, stories, and understandable explanations encourage the joy of asking questions and support the age-appropriate development of language comprehension, concentration, and interest in the subject. Children experience that research begins with curiosity, imagination, and shared conversations.
Small experiments for big aha moments
When the topic allows, a small experiment or a creative craft follows the reading. Thus, listening becomes an active family experience: children observe, experiment, and discover connections with their own hands. This combination of reading and practical activity creates enjoyment in learning and strengthens children's curiosity.
A safe place for shared time
The district library Kalk provides a lively environment for learning, browsing, and lingering, making it a suitable setting for families. The children's area invites play and reading. The venue is accessible for wheelchair users, has an elevator, and designated disabled parking. Assistance for hearing-impaired, blind, and visually impaired people is also available.
Well accessible and without registration
The district library Kalk is located at Kalker Hauptstraße 247-273. It can be reached among others by the light rail lines 1 and 9, bus line 159, as well as by S-Bahn and regional train to Kalk-Trimbornstraße. No registration is required for participation. Admission is free.
