What is a language? Where did it come from? How are they interconnected?

The program "How many languages do you speak?" is an interactive activity that introduces children to the diversity of languages and their significance in a playful manner. Participants will learn about the origin, development, and interconnectedness of languages, their phonetics, language families, and scripts.

The program broadens children's horizons beyond school education and inspires them to take an interest in linguistics and learning new languages, while emphasizing the importance of linguistic diversity.

In addition to languages, the program will also focus on scripts, which are inseparably linked to languages.

The workshop takes place in two parts: first, there will be 120 minutes in a classroom with a projector or interactive whiteboard, where you will focus on theory and modeling, and then you will move to the Robolab exhibition, where you can experience 3D printing live.

Join us and create your first 3D prints!

* The program is primarily intended for pupils and students who are able to work with the standard school curriculum without significant specialized pedagogical support.

The construction kits allow the assembly of two types of functional "vehicles" (a hand truck and a wood cart) in life size. During this lesson, students will create these vehicles in teams of 3–4 members. While working, they will learn to collaborate, communicate, read and understand technical documentation, and work according to instructions.

At the end of the lesson, they will test the functionality of their models themselves. After successfully testing their vehicles, they will disassemble them and carefully tidy up the individual parts in the correct places in the storage box.

This activity is not only educational but also fun and strengthens team spirit!

The program takes place in the U6 exhibition.

Can you create a simple traffic light or a bell that reacts to changes in lighting in the room? Do you want to delve deeper into the secrets of electrical components that you encounter every day? This, and much more, is what you can expect from our programme Electrical Circuits with MICRO:BIT.

Did you know that besides your phone, tablet, or computer, many other devices can connect to the internet? How do they do it? Who do they communicate with over the internet? And how about using your newly acquired knowledge to build your own weather station or measure the noise in your surroundings? This, and much more, is what you can expect from our Internet of Things with MICRO:BIT programme.

Pupils and students will practically delve into the secrets of a special set of sensors through a microcomputer and block programming, learning how to send collected data directly to our phone via the internet. While assembling their own measuring devices, they will understand how data collection works in the 21st century.

A magnetic field is created around a conductor through which electric current flows.

Thanks to this fact, people discovered a new way to set things in motion in the 19th century.

In this program, students will try constructing the first electric motors and batteries, look into the future of electromobility, and experience the work of a mechanic in virtual reality (VR glasses).

This educational program was created with the support of Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech s.r.o.

BLOOD. It is a reflection of your health, saves lives, convicts criminals, and is one of the most precious gifts.

The educational programme, designed for secondary schools, will guide students through four different haematology laboratories.

The aim is to demonstrate the importance of blood and voluntary donation of the fluid without which no life can exist.

The COVID era, the war in Ukraine, conspiracy theories, hybrid warfare! Media, politicians, social networks - from all these sources, we are constantly bombarded with speculations about who, how, and why they are trying to misinform us. But what do the frequently repeated terms fake news, disinformation, and alternative facts actually encompass? Are they a phenomenon of recent years, or have they been cleverly hidden among us for centuries? How is it possible that they work? Who and why spreads them? And most importantly, how can we defend ourselves against them? LiStOVáNí thus continues the successful adaptation of The Economics of Good and Evil and brings to the stage yet another highly relevant scientific text in a humorous, unconventional scenic form.

Become a chemist and discover how water affects our health and nature.

Water – seemingly ordinary liquid, yet it is never quite the same. In this program, students will transform into chemists and try their hand at working in an analytical laboratory. They will investigate different types of water – from drinking tap water to mineral, seawater, and distilled water. Using simple tests, they will find out what substances water contains and why it is important to monitor their quantities. They will discover that water is not just H₂O, but a complex mixture that can be essential for life, yet harmful in excessive amounts of certain indicators.
