About the universe and me…

When I was little I wanted to be able to ‘read the stars’. It took me a few years but when my 3 sons became interested in space I finally remembered and achieved my dream! I thank my boys from the bottom of my heart for their space questions and I love them to the end of the universe.

Before coming back to space I had the chance to learn 4 languages, earned a degree in management and for 15 years I have led my family space crew on their journey through the cosmos. From Malacky in Slovakia we flew with my husband and three sons to Bad Deutsch-Altenburg in Austria, where we have lived for 10 years. I finished my astronomical education with a stellar degree at the Slovak Central Observatory in Hurbanovo in 2019. Besides passing on my astronomical knowledge to children with joy and love, I now help to build and maintain cultural bridges between Austria and Slovakia within the Interreg program of the European Union.

Do you have astronomical questions? Bring it on!

Don't hesitate to contact me.

1. Mission

With our lectures and activities to popularize astronomy, we bring knowledge about astronomy to kindergarten and elementary school children in a fun and entertaining way full of light, color and movement.

2. Values

We listen to children’s questions with love, understanding, and respect, and our answers help them explore our beautiful world in ways they can understand.

3. Goals

To increase children’s awareness of and interest in topics related to the universe as a whole, the stars, the planets, the moon, and other celestial bodies. To teach them about the changing of day and night and the movements and properties of the heavenly bodies.

As we call out to the universe, we will find that it calls back to us…. 🙂

The workshop is educationally very valuable and designed with many illustrative materials. Lubka was able to convey her knowledge in a child-friendly and interactive way. Above all, the movement in between kept the children focussed. We were all able to take something away with us and are already looking forward to seeing you again!

Thank you for an amazing trip to space😉Workshop was perfectly adapted to preschoolers - active, full of movement and interesting information, tools all appropriate for their age. Thanks to Lubka for the engaging narration and demonstrations, with the help of which the children delved deeper into the mysteries of the universe around our dear planet.

Amazing! Ms. Ľubka very engaging and at the same time in a playful way captivated the children, who did not even want to leave the workshop. The children had the opportunity to be "transported" into space, to try out many new things and, most importantly, to gain new information about the universe. Thank you very much 🙂

Today's presentation about space was interesting, informative, engaging and even very entertaining 🙂 Ms. Lubka was amazing, she worked great with the kids, we all enjoyed it and learned a lot. Thank you!

It was a great experience for the children. The stories and activities were great fun!

Dear Lubka! It was great to have you in our kindergarten. You conjured up the universe for us for a few hours in a playful and child-friendly way. Your enthusiasm is infectious - for ALL the children and for us adults! THANK YOU for being there! Lisa

Dear Lubka! The experience of interactive space education for us was like a journey through the Galaxy, where the children could each grab and explore what they liked from the universe. Thank you! Luba, Deni, Ivanka - Frogs

Hello Lubka! I wanted to thank you again for the great morning, It was a great end to our project! The children, my colleague and I really enjoyed it and we were able to learn a lot more! Thank you very much! Marion

As a special treat for the children on St. Nicholas' Day, The Children's House in Bratislava, have invited Mrs. Ľubomíra Hujsová (www.tempusuniversum.eu) from Austria, to enjoy her program about the Universe, presented to the children as a hands on, interactive experience. We 've learned about the Solar System, including the planets and other objects within it, the Stars, constellations, we have been presented with how the days and nights are changing on our planet, how almost everything is spinning in the Universe etc. The children could explore monoculars, binoculars, various telescopes and tried to draw the Little Bear Constellation. The presentation was a truly enriching experience, we all enjoyed it 🙂

Very child-orientated and tailored to different age groups! Lots of material and variety! Gudrun, Kindergarten Vienna

A very enjoyable lecture about space, which was interesting even for the little ones. We positively evaluate the interpretation prepared for the age of children, but also the interaction. Thank you.

Thank you for a wonderful experience! It was playful, interactive and informative. The children had fun and also learned something. They were still telling their parents about the experience when they got home. We look forward to seeing you again, Lubka. ❤

Thank you for the beautifully and engagingly explained secrets of the universe. The children used a rocket to explore the planets of the Solar System, drew constellations, tried out different kinds of telescopes and enjoyed their astronomers' passports. Thank you again and we look forward to another journey through the universe with Mrs. Ľubka.❤

Ľubka visited us today and brought a part of the universe to our kindergarten. We experienced a beautiful, educational and interactive performance. Thank you and we look forward to the next visit!

You totally gave yourself away for the kids, it was obvious you enjoy it and it's sensual work. Thank you!

Dear Ľubka, we would like to thank you very much for the fascinating lecture about space and for the interesting activities for children. We all enjoyed it very much and look forward to more space adventures with you.

Dear Lubka! Thank you very much for the great workshop. The children were delighted. There was so much to see and to participate in. Absolutely recommendable.

Very good explanation - suitable for children, well responded to the children, good demonstration material, time allocation well adapted to the children.

“Tempus Universum” is unlike others💕 Lubka has been really great by bringing materials to help the children to understand space in creative ways and so much more! This workshop teaches children about our universe, learning how to use a telescope 🔭, looking stars ⭐️, planets 🪐! I’m so glad that I had her with us and definitely would like her to come again ❤️ totally recommend this workshop to everyone ✨✨✨

An excellent workshop for children from 2 to 6 years old. Scientific and interesting in the same time! It was fun! Thank you 🙂

Amazing performance! The kids were interested and very excited! Thank you very much, dear Mrs. Ľubomíra! Thank you also for the gifts. Alpacas 🙂

Dear Lubka! Thank you very much for your exciting and very successful project 💕 The children and adults were thrilled.

Lots of variety and constant movement - a great combination that never got boring. Absolutely recommendable! Many thanks from the Waldmühle Rodaun kindergarten.

Dear Ľubka, thank you very much for letting us fly to the Universe together with our kindergarten children. It was really very engaging, cheerful and fun. We appreciate that the whole "program" was moving and interactive, that the children were drawn into the action from the beginning to the end and did not even want to get off the rocket. You had it all perfectly thought out in detail and really made us happy with your visit. It is obvious that you enjoy working with children and you promptly and humorously answered every single inquisitive question our children had. We will look forward to your visit again next year and thank you once again for introducing our children to the mysteries and beauties of the Universe in a playful way and who knows if one of our children will become an astronaut thanks to you 🙂🙂🙂 Thank you, sincerely, from the collective of the kindergarten

The topic of space fascinates young and old alike. Lubkas workshop was educational, age-appropriate, exciting and interactive. The children were encouraged to join in, there was lots of movement and interesting visual aids (balloon planets, telescopes, constellations, Lego rockets, etc.) Very well organised, adapted to each age group (3-6 years) and very appealingly implemented. We could see how much fun it was for them to venture into the adventure of space with us! To summarise: "Really nice!" Yours sincerely, The Eipeldauer Straße team

Space is something unique and incredible. Let yourself touch a tiny part of it. The presentation we watched with great pleasure, was breathtaking. The children were deeply concentrated and impressed by the materials, that were amazing. The children got an image of the process that occures in space in real time. Thanks a lot!
