Labs for kids
Activities proposed
For
Educational and interactive experiments to introduce children and young students to the wonderful world of science!
Through science games and hands-on activities, young participants will discover how science is part of everyday life, learning while having fun.
We will create colourful slime, make funny inflatable fish through surprising chemical reactions, and write with a magic ink that changes colour. There will also be challenges to explore the secrets of light, vortices and fluid motion.
Young scientists will also step into the role of researchers and take part in a real Xylella hunt, using a large interactive model of a microfluidic chip inspired by the xylem vessels of olive trees. They will follow the path of the bacterium and discover how research can help us study and fight plant diseases.
An opportunity to explore chemistry, biology, physics and technology through engaging, creative and fun activities!
