The PROJECTO-S program runs in weekly blocks (i.e. blocks of 5 sequential days each:Monday to Friday, from 8:30 am * to 4:30 pm **) during the summer months.

And they can also involve other areas of knowledge, such as History (namely History of Science, Drawing, Music, Poetry, Sports...).
The central theme is chosen by the group, and to be treated in an interdisciplinary way, but with a scientific focus and explored in a creative way through the project learning methodology.
WHAT IS "PROJECT LEARNING"?
Outlining a project (even a simple project) requires learning.
A PROJECT is a well-defined plan of the set of actions, materials and human capital needed to achieve a final result (objective) with meaning and value, whether for the person designing the project, for the team or for other people.
Having to work on a project from start to finish helps to acquire and improve, for example, the skills of:
-
observation
-
investigation
-
organization
-
reflection
-
creativity
-
independence
-
leadership
and simultaneously encourages team spirit and sharing, critical analysis, and the capacity for synthesis and public presentation.
