\t\t\t\u00abResearch in Primary School\u00bb is a project aimed at third cycle primary school students offering two alternative proposals ‘Research in Primary School and Biomedicine’<\/i> and ‘ Research in Primary School in Physics and Chemistry’<\/i>, in the same format: the theatre workshop. Both activities are led by instructors and researchers and have been designed so that youngsters can conduct experiments using the scientific method and also gain further knowledge in a fun way on basic concepts such as cells, genes, atmospheric pressure, or chemical reactions. <\/p>\n

The workshops end with a guided and interactive tour of several PCB laboratories that completes the tasks carried out throughout the duration of the workshops and allows participating students to know the day to day reality of a lab and ask questions to the researchers on anything that sparks their curiosity. <\/p>\n

\u00abDo Research!\u00bb is an initiative aimed at the secondary school educational community that offers more than 40 workshops during the school year so that students can participate in experiments related to research projects currently being developed at the Parc Cient\u00edfic de Barcelona and the University Barcelona, with the same tools and materials that are commonly used by scientists. <\/p>\n

Six different proposals will enable teens to create a new drug to treat Alzheimer’s disease using peptides and proteins, to get to know how research is carried out with flies in order to discover the mechanisms that trigger cancer, or know all the stages of development of a new drug for Parkinson’s , among others. Although this cycle is aimed at secondary students, during the months of October and November four workshops are also offered at La Pedrera for the general public. <\/p>\n

\u00abResearch in Primary School\u00bb and \u00abDo Research!\u00bb are supported by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) of Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, Barcelona Culture Institute of the Barcelona City Council and the Catalunya-La Pedrera Foundation.The activities are conducted in collaboration with scientists from the University of Barcelona, the IRB Barcelona, the Official College of Chemists of Catalonia and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). <\/p>\n
