Science for All: Three Years of Promoting Scientific Literacy at EB 2,3 Cego do Maio

Founded three years ago, the Clube Ciência Viva Cego do Maio (CCVCM) - the school´s science club - has served as a dynamic platform to foster scientific literacy among students and the broader educational community. Participation is voluntary, welcoming all students aged 10 to 16, regardless of academic performance, who are curious and eager to learn through collaboration. Students benefiting from specific educational measures are also encouraged to join.

The club’s sessions are designed to stand apart from traditional classroom experiences while following a structured weekly schedule. Freedom of expression and creativity are key components, guided by classroom rules and the objectives of planned activities.
The club adopts a project-based learning approach, integrating the STEAM framework (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). Students actively contribute to defining the stages of problem-solving processes. A wide variety of activities enrich their learning experience, including laboratory experiments, hands-on workshops, themed celebrations, educational trips and project development.
This poster showcases highlights from the club's diverse activities over the past three years, illustrating its impact on cultivating curiosity, critical thinking, and teamwork among participants.
