About the project

“On the Trail of the Brain” was a journey into the most important organ of the human body. A series of classes for all fifth-grade pupils in Wodzisław Śląski primary schools included workshops on new technologies, chemistry and biology, maths and music, and art and ceramics.

The project helped pupils understand themselves better, learn more effectively and develop their potential. It combined science, technology, art and maths (the STEAM approach) so that children could see how different fields of knowledge complement each other.
