On the 19th November we had the pleasure of receiving students from the 12th and 11th grade of the schools Carlucci American International School of Lisbon and Escola Secundária Dr. Bernardino Machado.
These students visited our labs, talked to our scientists while they presented their work and lastly took the role of scientists themselves, in an exercise that allowed them to think of scientific questions, with the help of our researchers.
