Knowledge is irresistible and can always be fun. This is one of the proposals of Ciência no Parque, a project in Parque Vicentina Aranha that brings children, young people and adults closer to the scientific universe.
Ciência no Parque turns 10 years old this month. The project, created by Professors Roberto Stempniak and Darwin Passi, from the ITA (Technological Institute of Aviation), promotes monthly interactive exhibitions and workshops that present in a fun and interesting way the phenomena of mechanics, optics, energy, waves and more.
With the participation of experts and invited volunteers, the activities stimulate the curiosity of participants and contribute to the interest of future scientists.
Science in the Garden – Our Ten Years
To celebrate a decade dedicated to teaching science in a creative and accessible way for all audiences, especially children and young people, Parque Vicentina Aranha has prepared a special programme.
This Thursday (23), at 6:30 pm, Deep Sky project experts invite amateur astronomers and the general public to the Astronomical Observatory: a journey through the secrets of the universe. Armed with telescopes, participants will be able to explore the sky amidst Vicentina’s nature.
On Friday (24) at 7 pm, Davi Calazan, content creator of “Ponto em Comum”, the largest scientific publishing channel in the Northeast, will participate in a dialogue panel, through a live virtual broadcast, shown on the big screen in the outdoor cinema. Davi graduated in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Ceara, and will share his knowledge and stories that inspire, excite and educate.
On Saturday (25th) from 2 pm to 5 pm, the Deep Sky Project will hold a celestial charts workshop, which teaches recognition of constellations, reading and interpreting celestial charts, locations and identification of planets, galaxies, star clusters and nebulae, in addition to understanding star movements and learning how to use telescopes. .
On Sunday (26) at 10 a.m. a talk entitled “Ten Years of Science in Parque Vicentina Aranha” will take place in the presence of project coordinator Professor Roberto Stempniak and guests. Among them are Alexandre Wunsch (INPE), José Silverio Edmundo Germano (ITA), Leila Ribeiro (STEM2D Project), Wonderklet Melo (Ceu Profundo Project), Valeria Israel (AFAC), and members of Ciência no Parque.
On the same day, from 10am to 12pm, the Women in STEM2D project team runs a workshop using paper models donated by AEB (Brazilian Space Agency). Participants will be able to assemble satellites, probes and rockets, a way to stimulate children’s interest in science, technology and the space sector. On this day, the conversation “Our 10 Years” will take place with the Ciência no Parque team and guests.
The program also includes a science exhibition at Pavilhão São José, with displays of interactive experiments conducted by the Ciência no Parque team. Friday (24th) from 2pm to 5pm, and Saturday (25th) from 10am to 12pm.
All activities are free. For those wishing to cooperate with children supported by the beneficiaries of the Social Solidarity Fund, the Solidarity Ticket is a new toy or in good condition, in support of the Solidarity Campaign on the occasion of Christmas.
