Acquired knowledge and inventions are put to the test in survival games .

DAY 2 – FROM INVENTOR TO NATURAL EXPLORER

In the first half of the day, an invention called the natural eye will be built – a homemade optical tool that helps you notice details that you might not see with the naked eye. Then, grab the direction finder you made the day before and head to a small for the expedition.

Armed with their inventions, they go to discover the patterns, movements and secrets of nature – their destinations are the NATURAL MUSEUM or the ZOO .

DAY 3 – AN INVENTOR IN NATURE

The wisdom acquired in earlier days is now being put into practice. to the test. Aerodynamics are explored through kite making and flying.

Young inventors will also be introduced to hydropower – in a simple and understandable way. Children will build their own water wheel and discover why machines powered by water have been some of the most important inventions in history.
