Organized groups
Experimentation zone
The Department of Education and Popularization of Science in the Maritime Science Centre aims to create a space where class participants, under the supervision of Educators and Animators, can experiment, gain new knowledge, broaden their horizons, ask questions, do research and look for solutions. Our staff members – creative, educated and focused on developing creative potential – encourage students to active participation in classes.
Educational labs
There are three kinds of laboratories in the Maritime Science Centre, which run classes for children (preschool and school age) and adults. The biology and chemistry lab is a place where, by conducting experiments on their own, participants discover the laws of nature that govern our world. The STEAM lab focuses on creative learning based on new technologies, including LEGO sets, Photon educational robot kits and 3D pens. In the modelling lab, each participant has the opportunity to, among other things, hammer a nail on their own, learn how to use a calliper or tailor's tape measure, or create their own design with 3D printers.
The biology and chemistry lab is not only a state-of-the-art laboratory with extensive equipment, but also place full of inspiring educators who help class participants discover the laws of nature that govern our world. During classes, we look closely at the environment both on a macro scale, learning about oceans or primeval forests, and also on a micro scale, for example analysing the atoms which form our world. The activities held in the biology and chemistry lab serve everyone to inquire, discover and develop themselves. You will learn the answers to many questions that may have surprised you at school, at home or on the Internet.
The STEAM lab wants to develop the creative potential of children. Its main purpose is to create space which encourages children to learn through play. The STEAM method is an interdisciplinary form of learning that combines different elements: science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. The participants will improve their verifications and interpretation skills through practical problem-solving tasks. Each student is an inventor and a designer, and the working method is based on trials and errors. During classes we use such things as mobile applications, tablets, sets of LEGO bricks and the educational robot Photon.
Partner of the STEAM lab is Kongsberg Maritime Poland.
The modelling lab is a place, where technical science becomes an inspiration for developing passions and interests in exact science. Here even the youngest groups of children have the opportunity to hammer the nail on their own, operate the calliper, use tailor’s tape measure or do some simple wood working for their own projects. In addition to carpentry tools, the lab is equipped with advanced technologies such as 3D printers, 3D scanner, laser plotter, as well as electronics and tailoring learning kits.
