Information on the ‘Malopolska System for Supporting Digital Transformation of Schools’ programme.

The project, implemented as part of the European Funds for Małopolska 2021-2027 programme, aims to support the digital transformation of schools - from the provision of modern hardware and software, to the development of teachers' competences and support in the field of cyber security. Through participation in the project, schools will gain access to the latest technology and training in STEAM methodologies and digital tools. As part of the programme, pupils are scheduled to take part in educational trips to support personal development. We are pleased to announce that our Centre can be visited as an additional choice when organising these trips.

Information about the "Travel with class" program.

The Ministry of Education has launched a new project to subsidize school trips, providing an excellent opportunity to enrich the educational process of students through visits to, among others, science centers and museums. Planning a visit to our Center aligns with the program points included in the Ministry of Education's announcement: "The condition for obtaining funding is the inclusion in the trip program of a visit to a museum, art gallery, theater, opera, philharmonic, science center, open-air museum, or other cultural institution (referred to as educational points)."

Why is the WOMAI Centre a unique place? With us, students can experience a different dimension of education - based on learning through fun and experientially discovering the diversity of the world around us. Our Centre offers two amazing exhibitions: ‘into the light’ and ‘into the darkness’. At ‘towards the light’ you can discover the fascinating world of science, while ‘towards the darkness’ will allow you to develop empathy while learning about the lives of blind people.

"Into the darkness"

At the exhibition "Into the darkness" all the lights will go out and we will be introduced to the realm of the senses. In the absolute darkness we will join a blind guide and try to get to know the world from his perspective, we will create in our imagination an image of what is invisible, what we can hear, touch and even feel. We will experience first-hand how blind people function on a daily basis. The offer is designed for pupils in primary school grade 5 and above.

For the younger participants (1st - 4th class of primary school, pre-school groups with children from 4 years old) we have prepared a unique sensory workshop, where we learn about the life of blind people in a comfortable environment. The specificity of the activities and the variety of materials will improve the sensory experience of the participants and stimulate the senses. We will prepare works created from diverse art materials, which will be readable to blind people. The whole meeting will be led by one of our blind guides, who will share information about his world with the participants on this occasion.

"Into the light"

The exhibition "Into the light" is an extraordinary collection of interactive experiments that allows us to explore the world around us. All phenomena are explained by a guide, always in an interesting and accessible way. Everyone, regardless of age, will find something to their liking here; at our exhibition you can discover, among other things:

• the phenomenon of luminescence
• the colourful shadow effect
• AR modelling of landforms using hypsometric maps
• the historical aspect of science based on the example of famous people
• combining music and science - unusual instruments

For younger children, the exhibition is conducted in the form of a game; the guide at each object allows them to discover the phenomena themselves, while providing unforgettable entertainment.

Experiment shows 

The show “How to defeat the Dragon?” (up to grade 4 of elementary school)

Only science can defeat the dragon! But how exactly? Discover it with us!

Demonstrations of chemical and physical experiments, allowing you to experience how explosive, full of twists fun science can be.

During the experiment show with pressure, fire and water, you will embark on a fascinating journey into the world of science. You will not only be able to watch, but also actively participate in the experiments, becoming the helpers of our brave scientists!

The show lasts up to 60 minutes and is dedicated to students up to 4th grade of elementary school.

The show “ Laboratory of explosions” (grades 5-8 of elementary school)

A workshop full of dynamic experiments! In the “ Laboratory of explosions” you will learn how to control the power of pressure, fire and chemical reactions in practice. Each experiment is an explosive dose of knowledge and excitement.

During the show you will take part in some of the experiments yourself, becoming for a moment scientists discovering how powerful chemical reactions can be. No jokes - here we bet on serious explosions and scientific fun!

The show lasts up to 60 minutes, dedicated to students in grades 5-8 of elementary school.

The show “From theory to action” (secondary schools)

In the world of science, everything starts with theory, but the real magic happens when we put it into action. At our workshop you will see how theory meets practice. We will show you experiments in chemistry and physics that change the way we perceive the world around us.

You will understand how the laws of nature work - from pressure to chemical reactions to fascinating physical phenomena. These aren't just simple experiments - it's a demonstration of how science is building the future, and you'll be witnesses and participants in it.

The show lasts up to 60 minutes and is dedicated to secondary school students.
