Later on, they become 'Science Ambassadors' to carry out volunteer work among primary school children, encouraging them to show an interest in and love natural sciences.
To us, scientific literacy is not knowing all there is to know about science, but rather, being curious about, exploring and understanding how science works.

Scientific literacy also helps individuals grasp the scientific concepts and processes they need for decision-making, civic participation, as well as cultural relations and production. As such, this project supports youngsters and children in becoming individuals who can question various issues in their daily lives, observe natural events, and try to make sense of all of these phenomena.
