Abstract
Children universities see universities hosting activities for exposing children to research findings. However, universities are not per-se designed for children. This paper advances the idea of gamifying university contexts for children in order to provide them with a positive engaging experience. The reported qualitative study serves as proof-of-concept. Engagement results, albeit preliminary, are positive.
