Children love to ask questions that often put adults in a dead end. Why is milk white? Why do we have dreams? Why does a giraffe have a long neck, but an elephant has a trunk? Why does Grandma have a heart of gold? Especially for such inquisitive children and their parents, a "Children's University" has been opened at Kazan Federal University.

"Children's University" is an educational project of Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University. In Elabuga, the "Children's University" operates on the basis of the Yelabuga Institute of KFU. The opening of the project in Yelabuga took place on December 11, 2011.

The subjects of classes cover a wide range of disciplines: history, law, mathematics, chemistry, physics, astronomy and a number of others. Interactive popular science lectures are given by professors and leading teachers of the university.
