The event

From Saturday 18 May, Explora will host Let’s STEM 2.0!, the cycle of workshops aimed at children, aged 6 and up, offered in the weekend and created in cooperation with Keysight.
Inspired by STEM and Tinkering, the workshops bring children closer to scientific subjects thanks to informal, playful and creative activities.
Thanks to informal, playful and creative activities, children can discover Science, in a valuable way that enables them to acquire knowledge, skills and exploring Mathematics, Science, Engineering and New Technologies.
The workshops are offered at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on weekends:

• 18 and 19 May
• 25 and 26 May
• 1 and 2 June

Activities

18 and 19 May: Invent your own circuit
Experimenting with batteries, lighs, buzzers, switches and other electrical components is a great way to learn about electrical circuits! Start making electrical connections and discover how a circuit works with safe materials and a fun activity. The event is part of the Sustainable Development Festival initiative. Find out more…

25 and 26 May: Machines in motion
Have you ever seen markers draw? Batteries, electric cables, sticks, pipe cleaners allow you to invent strange machines that leave imaginative marks as they move, tracing their path.
There are no right or wrong ways of inventing, the important thing is to put yourself to the test and experiment!

1 and 2 June: The power of the wind
Have you ever played with the wind on a table that reproduces the effect of air? Experiment with the flight of some objects sent higher and higher by the wind: what determines the best flight?

STEM and Tinkering

STEM and Tinkering are contemporary learning methodologies that foster critical thinking and problem solving in children. STEM includes Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, disciplines that are fundamental to innovation. Tinkering is an educational approach that explores natural phenomena through practical applications and personal skills. Find out more…
