We are thrilled to share news from one of our most rewarding activities yet — bringing our educational interactive lessons featuring the recycling microbes Ela and Fero to the pupils of Primary School in Perín-Chym.
The lesson was designed for children in 3rd and 4th grade and combined storytelling, puppet theater, and hands-on science exploration to introduce young minds to the world of environmental microbiology and recycling. By making Ela and Fero the guides on a journey through ecosystems and microorganisms, we aimed to make environmental science not only understandable, but truly exciting.
And it worked! The reaction from the children was enthusiastic from the very first moment. Teachers reported that the pupils were engaged, curious, and full of questions throughout. The highlight? After the lesson, the teachers were so inspired that they immediately took the children to observe algae in nearby ponds — turning classroom curiosity into real-world discovery.
We believe that sparking an interest in environmental science at an early age is one of the most meaningful contributions we can make — not just as scientists, but as members of our community.
A big thank you to the school, the teachers, and most of all to the wonderful children of Perín-Chym for such a warm and curious reception. We hope Ela and Fero left a lasting impression!
