Pre-school
For more than 15 years fosforo: has been bringing STEM skills into schools through informal learning activities, and we are already working with several schools on PNRR pathways.
We are on MePA – acquistinretepa.it, the Italian public administration’s procurement portal.
Get in touch and we’ll find the best solution to develop STEM skills in your school or to create training courses, with a project tailored to your pupils and your needs!
The activities
The workshops in the pathways can be chosen from those on our website, in the “WHAT WE DO – SCHOOLS” section, with the timing and number of repetitions we agree on together to make the most of the time available. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, call us!
The experts
The pathways will include various activities run by the science communicators of fosforo: the science festival, which has been bringing hands-on workshops into schools for more than 14 years. In addition to the external expert, we can provide a second staff member to act as tutor.
The trainers
Together we can design training pathways for teachers on innovative teaching methods, the educational and technical management of digital tools, training and professional development in digital skills and much more, according to the needs of each school.

How many colours are hidden in a ray of light? Is it true that invisible lights exist? Let’s discover all the ingredients we need to create our very own rainbow at home.
A world of animals
