Same Home Town
Programme
We want to make Portugal the first country where all 10-year old children have met a scientist from their hometown.
We build bridges between children and scientists, who return to their former primary schools to organise unique science workshops.
We do this to broaden children's horizons, promote scientific literacy and higher education, and break stereotypes related to science and scientists.
