De Jonge Onderzoekers introduce children to science and technology in a playful way. During Noorderzon 2025, two creative workshops will be on the program.

That’s Music to Our Ears!

What does waste actually sound like when you turn it into music? In this workshop, you'll create rain sticks, clackers, rattles, and other sound-makers – all from recycled materials. Experiment, build, and discover how to turn something old into something new that really makes sound. A fun and surprising introduction to sound, rhythm, and recycling. Who knows – maybe there’s a true musician hiding inside you!

From Flowers and Bees!

De Jonge Onderzoekers (The Young Researchers) are bringing their Mobile Lab to Noorderzon. Here, you can examine flowers and bees up close using a real microscope. Discover the secrets of nature from a new perspective and learn how these tiny heroes make our world so special!

You can join this activity by purchasing tokens, available only during the festival on the Speelweide. 1 token costs €4. A bundle of 3 tokens costs €10.
