a Unicamp Museum of Scientific Exploration It promotes another weekend full of activities for all ages, developing scientific concepts in a hands-on and fun way. a “Weekend at the Museum” On Saturday, September 17, it will be from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and will also include guided visits to Tempo-Espaço Square and the Meteorological Station (FEAGRI).
This event is ready to Paper Science FestivalA big meeting between teams and “athletes” takes place in the second week of October.
The workshops only require pre-registration and are broken down by different age groups and times. Children up to the age of 13 must remain accompanied by children, the recommendation is to use a mask in all activities.

The life of orchids – nature at home
Presentation: Biology Institute Team – Orchid
Age groups/hours:
First category (from 8 to 12 years old): from 11 am to 12 pm
Category 2 (12-16 years old): 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Third category (adults): from 4 pm to 5 pm

Small world of paper viruses
Presented by: Museum Team
Age groups/hours:
First category (from 10 to 12 years): from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm
The second category (from 6 to 9 years): from 4 pm to 5:30 pm
Application form
About the workshop: As a group, the workshop proposes to build a small paper world to study viruses, cells and how infections occur. The activity mixes assembling viruses on paper with a huge drawing of a cell, in which participants will build a narrative of how the relationship between the elements occurred.
Journey through the world of cones
Presentation: Pedro Guidolim, Sabrina Camargo Zani
Working hours: from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM
Indication: 10 to 13 years old
Application form
About the workshop: In the world of mathematics, cones are interesting geometric shapes. In the workshop, participants use paper to represent, shape and work with these shapes and to understand their properties and curiosities.
