In January 2023, a new program of activities will launch at PORT \u2013 Gardens of Experience. The free workshops are intended for preschool children as well as primary and secondary school students. Registration is now open.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

How are colors created? What is spherification? Is it possible to protect the Earth from being overwhelmed by plastic waste? Answers to these and many other questions will be discovered by participants in workshops organized by the PORT Technology Education Center \u2013 Gardens of Experience at \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 PORT. The classes cover topics in chemistry, physics, biology, and ecology. They are held in the educational laboratories of the Wroc\u0142aw-based institute, equipped with professional instruments, reagents, and specimens. Young researchers tackle scientific challenges by independently conducting experiments and hands-on investigations.<\/p>

Workshop Topics<\/h2>

The new workshop program is designed for organized preschool groups (children aged 5 and older) as well as school groups from primary and secondary schools. It includes five different workshop options. The youngest participants will learn about color mixing principles, the properties of liquids, and the structure of the Earth, as well as volcanic phenomena. They will also build their own volcanoes and trigger eruptions. Older primary school students will explore the scientific secrets of molecular gastronomy and the unconventional food-processing methods used in this field. Secondary school students will address the issue of plastic pollution and produce bioplastics. They will also face the challenge of solving a \u201cchemical crossword,\u201d identifying various substances in test tubes through chemical reactions.<\/p>

\u201cI am convinced that educational workshops held in the laboratories of \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 PORT will be an excellent complement to the knowledge provided during school lessons,\u201d says Marek Staniewicz, Director of the Department of Social Responsibility of Science at \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 PORT Polish Center for Technology Development. \u201cRegardless of the participants\u2019 age, the guiding idea behind our workshops is learning through experience. We focus on the active involvement of children and young people, encourage analytical thinking, and provide opportunities for independent experimentation. This is the best way to spark young people\u2019s interest in science and show that it can be a fascinating adventure.\u201d<\/p>

How to Register for the Workshops<\/h2>

Online registration for workshops scheduled from January to March 2023 is available on the \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 PORT website<\/a>. The schedule and detailed descriptions of the workshops can also be found there. Organized school and preschool groups may apply; depending on the workshop topic, group sizes range from a maximum of 15 to 30 participants. During the first quarter of 2023, as part of a pilot edition, participation in the workshops will be free of charge. Workshops may be conducted in Polish, English, or Ukrainian. There are also plans to launch activities for individual participants.<\/p>

The workshops offered by the PORT Technology Education Center \u2013 Gardens of Experience are implemented as part of the \u201cEntry into the World of Science\u201d program, co-financed by the Ministry of Education and Science.<\/p>

At the same time, another edition of the partner program \u201cLight in Science\u201d<\/strong> is underway, implemented by \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 PORT in cooperation with the Foundation of the Polish Center for Technology Development and OSRAM. These workshops are intended for secondary school students and focus on photonics and materials chemistry. Working under the guidance of experts from \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 PORT, young scientists will learn about the spectroscopic properties of luminescent materials and the structure of liquid crystal displays, as well as how a tomograph works. The synthesis of organic drugs, including the independent preparation of aspirin, will help them understand how pharmaceutical substances are created and why discovering new medicines is a major scientific challenge. Registration for these workshops is conducted via email at: ogrody.doswiadczen@port.lukasiewicz.gov.pl<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
