RESEARCHERS
Researchers from Universidad EAFIT provide the academic content that inspires the activities that take place in the Encounters with the Question, Science Challenges and Scientific Expeditions workshops, support the preparation of the group of workshop participants and talk with the children and young people in the program to share their experiences and guide them in the construction of answers. In Scientific Expeditions, researchers accompany participants in the development of their research work. In addition, they provide advice and accompany external workshops of the program.
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Public and private educational institutions in Medellín, the Metropolitan Area and nearby municipalities are invited to participate in the Encounters with the Question workshops. Each institution selects, among its students, the children and young people who will participate in the program, and an accompanying teacher. They also assume the commitment to guarantee the attendance of their students to the monthly workshops at EAFIT. Learn more about the participating educational institutions.
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
A group of university students from different EAFIT undergraduate programs, are annually trained to lead the workshops and meetings. Others support the activities, as monitors, from the strategic and communications area of the Children´s University.
