Science & Philosophy Festival

On 11th, 12th and 13th April, the PRISMA network and the Erasmus+ StAnD project participated in the XIV Festa di Scienza e Filosofia, in Foligno, Italy, proposing a workshop activity for children and young people.

The workshop, organised in collaboration with Chiara Girolami, one of the StAnD project teachers, allowed the participants to discover meteorites by triangulating the impact area, learning how to recognise a freshly fallen meteorite and observing its thin sections under the microscope.
