The Centro de Ciência Viva dos Arcos will transform this Friday and Saturday, September 11 and 12, into a scientific camp, with a Scientific Bootcamp aimed at children between 7 and 12 years old. The initiative proposes a different night, marked by experiences, challenges, adventure, and moments of socializing, seeking to stimulate curiosity and a taste for discovery through teamwork.

Throughout the program, participants will be challenged to observe, question, test hypotheses, and find solutions, putting their knowledge to the test and developing new learnings in a relaxed and participatory environment. The program kicked off this Friday at 3:30 PM with the reception of participants, followed by a Kitchen Laboratory and a Solar Snack, the preparation of the camp, and a Scientific Party & Co session.

The night continues with a Dinner and Scientific Sunset, followed by the adventure "Lost Mineral." On Saturday, the day begins at 9:00 AM with breakfast, with the closing ceremony and delivery of participation certificates scheduled for 10:30 AM.

Through this experience, the Centro de Ciência Viva dos Arcos aims to bring young people closer to science in a practical and fun way, promoting discovery, cooperation, and learning through experimentation.

Among participants with the highest stress level, 54.37% had the problem, compared to only 8.21% of those with lower stress.
