Atraktos Camp 2023 — Stand up Science kids

Atraktos_camp_2023:

One more remarkable initiative by ATRAKTO

Where: Atraktos

When: 19/6-7/7, with free entry

Drawing on a range of disciplines and rejecting traditional teaching methods, it skilfully combines inventiveness, creativity and exploration.

Aiming to cultivate critical thinking and with absolute respect for diversity, the Atraktos Camp invites students on a journey of knowledge, full of learning surprises and experiences.

And of course, a Stand up Science kids! could not be missing from this original initiative!

But why Stand up Science kids? During the pandemic, as part of their collaboration with ATRAKTO, they also entered the digital era, adapting for the first time texts addressed to children — Stand up Science kids — thus making knowledge more attractive and accessible (ATRAKTOS KIDS programme).

Through this programme they took part in the two Kastellorizo Riddle Festivals, in two educational events of Rodion Paideia Schools, in Rhodes, and renewed their collaboration with ATRAKTO from December 2022, with a particularly strong response from young audiences — something that reinforces their decision to continue.

Science Reactors will wrap up the Atraktos Camp classes on Friday 7/7, at 18:00.

Chara Afaloniati (veterinarian), Pavlos Isaris (computer scientist), Athanasios Koustenis (biochemist), Stavros Dimitrakoudis (astrophysicist), Ermis Zacharopoulos (computer scientist) and Giorgos Galanopoulos (electrical engineer), members of the Science Reactors team, will close the Summer School's thematic sessions at Atraktos on Friday 7 July with a Stand up Science kids. Moderated by Konstantinos Antonaropoulos, they will talk to the children who took part, in a simple way and above all with a broad smile, about topics such as:

“Watch out, dinosaur! Grrrr!”, “The history of the Earth in a loaf of bread”, “DNA.. the recipe book of life!”, “What do we know about the Theory of Relativity?”, “My grandma is a Cyborg”, «How many pears fit in the bag?»
