“We continue to add visits to institutions to bring children closer to science, especially astronomy. “The idea is that students can enjoy a different experience during school hours, and learn in a fun and entertaining way about the initiatives developed by PALP,” said Head of the Scientific Publishing Programme, Javier Torres.

“The kids were very involved and loved the technology, virtual reality and planetarium. I would especially like to thank this possibility that ULP offers to students who often do not have the facilities to access the park, and to the PALP team who shared this afternoon Science at Schoolsaid Sandra Andrada, high school coordinator.
