A scientist a day keeps boredom away! Every day we will be guided by famous
scientists to discover the scientific branch that distinguishes them, for a journey of 5 unmissable days dedicated to science.

GALILEO GALILEI • ASTRONOMY
Bring the starry night home! Let’s explore the major constellations present in our sky and discover the fascinating myths that animate them. Let’s build an astrolabe together to orient ourselves in the celestial vault and find
the main constellations.

FRATELLI WRIGHT • AERODYNAMICS
What shape must an object have in order to take flight? With this tinkering we will have the opportunity to answer this question by experimenting with our hands, building, adapting and modeling our flying objects, and then seeing them fly in the wind tube!

KATHERINE JOHNSON • ENGINEERING
3..2..1 Gone! The science of rockets told through a series of experiments to build increasingly efficient rockets using commonly used materials and simple water as a propellant. Do not you believe it? Come and try!

ARCHIMEDE • PHYSICS
Does it float or not? More than 2000 years ago, Archimede understood the conditions when a body could float and when it could not. Let’s go back to his concepts by applying them to everyday objects.

MARIA SIBYLLA MERIAN • NATURE
Thanks to special microscopes, we set off on a fascinating journey into the microworld to closely observe the spectacular microorganisms around us that populate the Earth.
