About_
During the National Science Week of Niterói, I proposed an open agenda with a group of Kindergarten students from a school located at the Morro do Palácio Community. It was to be science based, deal with creativity, and teach them about our solar system. I went to the comitte repesenting the Contemporary Museum of Niterói (MAC-Niterói).
After talking to the school principal and the pedagogical head of the school, they agreed to let me do the proposal to the students. When I arrived there I began this learning journey by giving these young students a curious prompt:
“I have a scientist friend. And he told me that the stars a made of clouds!”
The initial reaction of some students was disbelief, telling me that my friend was lying to me!
