Science Summer Camp in Porto during the Christmas Holidays
The Discover Club in Porto organizes a Christmas holiday for children with curious and creative minds!
The Science Summer Camp in Porto is the ideal program for little scientists, curious minds, or simply energetic children! It will take place over 6 days during the Christmas school holidays at the Júlio Dinis School in Porto. And the best Christmas present is seeing them happy learning and discovering the world! Children will encounter challenges that stimulate curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. It's the perfect space to experiment, investigate, build, and imagine solutions, always with hands-on experience and learning through practice.
Mornings are dedicated to discovery! The methodology integrates various areas of knowledge — science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) — and follows Design Thinking, an approach that teaches you to think and solve problems creatively and collaboratively.
Each day brings a new adventure, full of fun, educational, and inspiring experiences that value know-how and the joy of learning through play.
At this summer camp, the surprises don't come from Santa's sleigh... they come from the discoveries of each day!
