STEM camps

Where science becomes an adventure!

Immersive experiences

Our camps are more than just activities — they are multi-day journeys into the world of science. Through hands-on experiments, astronomical observations, and playful challenges, participants experience the scientific method first-hand. Every day is designed to spark curiosity and leave a lasting impression.

Active teamwork

Science is a team effort. Beyond the labs, participants build essential soft skills — collaboration, communication, and creative problem-solving — by collaborating to tackle real challenges. Because the best discoveries happen when everyone works together.

Creative methodology

We can craft every camp from scratch, selecting and combining activities to match the context and the goals. Our approach is as educationally robust as it is vibrant — because we believe the best way to live the adventure of science is one designed just for you.

STEM camps activities

Our STEM camp days draw on our team's experience with live events, hands-on labs and interactive workshops, allowing us to choose the activities most suitable for every group and context.

Scientific labs
01

SCIENTIFIC LABS

To do science like real researchers. Through play and hands-on activities, participants learn new scientific ideas and experiment with electronics, robotics, and programming.

Guided stargazing
02

GUIDED STARGAZING

To learn how to recognise constellations, planets, and galaxies. Virtual observations transform the camp classrooms into an interactive planetarium for a journey through myths and constellations, while telescope observations allow for the thrill of direct discovery.

Board games and challenges
03

BOARD GAMES

To play at being astronauts and designing space missions. Through the dimension of play, participants learn to manage resources, handle unexpected events, and make decisions to achieve goals.

Creative activities
04

CREATIVE ACTIVITIES

To represent science through the languages of art. Building, drawing, or modelling what they learn helps children and teenagers express themselves, turning creativity into a tool for inclusion, communication, and self-discovery.

Space42 Europe STEM camps for Il Cielo Itinerante

  1. 01

    Since 2020, we have been running STEM camps across Italy in collaboration with the non-profit association Il Cielo Itinerante. Together, we bring science to communities where educational opportunities are scarce — because we believe curiosity has no postcode.

    In five years, more than 600 young people have taken part in these camps. Groups of 30–40 children and teenagers dive into science first-hand through hands-on lab activities running over one or two weeks, guided by our science communicators.

    Activities alternate with moments of sharing, play, and wonder — including night-time stargazing sessions that turn the sky into the most spectacular classroom. Every day is designed to balance learning with emotion.

    The venues are meaningful spaces for the local communities — community centres that serve as important points of reference. Here, our team works alongside local educators, creating a warm and playful environment where participants learn, feel welcomed, and share their curiosity about the world.
