Step into the shoes of a real dentist in our Dental Workshop. Here you’ll learn everything about teeth and oral health. Drill cavities and fill teeth yourself. Or are you more creative? Try carving your name into a plate or craft your own tooth box. Radboudumc will once again be at the Kids Square during the Four Days Marches festivities, where there are activities for children and young people all week long.
At Mariënburgplein, there will be a festive children’s program for ages 3–12 at the Kids Square from Saturday 18 to Tuesday 21 July during the Four Days Marches festivities. On Wednesday 22 and Thursday 23 July, there will be an exciting program for ages 12+ at the Youth Square. View the full program here.
Music and stories at the Kids Stage
At the Kids Stage, Bibliotheek Gelderland Zuid, LUX, the House of Nijmegen History, and the Regional Archive Nijmegen offer a packed program. Listen to stories, come dance and sing, and ask scientists anything you like during the children’s podcast Professorproef. Astronaut André Kuipers will also talk about his space journey.
Technology and experiments in the Kids Lab
The Kids Lab is the perfect place for curious children aged 3–12 to experiment and learn about science, research, discoveries, and technology. Radboudumc will be here on Sunday 19 and Monday 20 July from 13:00–17:00 with the Dental Workshop. Put on a coat and experience what a day as a dentist is like. Or check out your own teeth with a 3D scan and learn how to keep them healthy.
The Kids Lab introduces children to future innovations in a playful way. Radboudumc, Radboud University, innovation platform Innovate, and Nijmegen-based companies MakerCosmos, GreenKarting, Haskoning, Modderkolk, and Techoforum offer a varied program for four consecutive days.
