Program partner:
Furerplastick opens its doors for the first time in 1997, backed by a team with extensive experience in the plastic recycling sector.
From the beginning it was committed to exporting to the Asian continent, being Furerplastick one of the pioneering companies that started strongly in China. To this end, efforts were focused on the plastic materials most in demand by emerging China. Our clients were located in Hong Kong, Ningbo, Shanghai, and Dalian, among other major cities.
Today, we can say that we have two very well differentiated lines of business:
1st Line: Responsible for the export of material to be recycled in the Asian continent.
2nd Line: Specialized in the distribution of technical materials in Europe.
Given the good acceptance of our articles in the Chinese market, we expanded borders to countries such as India or Pakistan.

About the workshop
Smart Barcelona is gathering a team of scientists for the most ambitious task - to stop the death of all life on the planet. In two hours, we have to find new sources of clean energy, clean up garbage mountains, clean up the land from heavy metals and save Antarctica from an oil spill.
Oil spill lab
We will save an entire colony of penguins from an oil spill armed with raincoats, brushes and sweaters.
Wind energy lab
We will figure out where the wind is blowing from, we will place windmills in the valley and solemnly light the bulbs with renewable energy.
Pure soils lab
We will remove all heavy metals from the soil and plant seeds of plants in it. The guys will be able to continue the experiment and observe their growth at home.
Waste processing lab
Let's find out how PET differs from PEBD, which container to throw Tetra Pak into, and turn garbage into valuable raw materials with our own hands.

How is the event going?
64 CHILDREN PARTICIPATE IN ONE EVENT
There are 4 teams, 16 people each. Every team visits every one of the 4 labs. Our program is totally interactive and children make the experiments on their own.
The program was developed by young scientists and science popularizers from the best universities in the world. Students, graduates and young scientists from universities in Barcelona are conducting the program.
In the laboratories, classes are taught in Spanish or Catalan. Sometimes there are also groups in English - check the schedule!
For everybody's convenience, we split our teams in two age groups: 7-10 and 11-14. The topics considered in different groups are the same, but the presentation is slightly different, and the children are always more comfortable surrounded by their peers.
PARENTS WILL NOT GET BORED
We make a separate program for the parents where you can learn new things and have fun at the same time. The speaker will present in Spanish, but the text on the key slides will be in three languages - Spanish, Russian, English - it will be clear and interesting to everyone.
IMPORTANT! Before each event, we carry out a small quest. We advise you to come half an hour before the start in order to have time to participate in it.

| Quest in the lobby Before each program, we conduct a small, but very interesting and informative quest on the topic of the program. The quest is designed for children to pass it along with their parents. We advise you to come half an hour before the start of the program in order to have time to participate in it! ⇔ scroll photos ⇔ |

GENERAL INFORMATION
We offer interactive events on natural sciences for children of 7-14 years and their parents.
Each event is a brief introductory course on chemistry, physics, biology, medicine and other sciences.
In January 2019 we launched the first event for children and their parents from and around Barcelona. The scientific monitors who guide children into the programs are real young scientists from the best universities in Barcelona.

WHAT ARE THE EVENTS LIKE
Each program consists of four labs where children conduct various experiments. Each team spends 20 minutes in each lab — this time is enough to get the theory and make an experiment.
Meanwhile, the parents are involved in adult program - interactive quiz and a short lecture on the same topic that the main program. After the event each participant gets a present — an experimental set you can do at home.
LANGUAGE
In the laboratories, classes are taught in Spanish or Catalan. Sometimes there are also groups in English - check the schedule! You also can gather a group of 16 children (for example, in your school), and then the classes in the laboratories will be in English. Please contact us if you are interested in it!

MAIN FEATURES
We chose the current format for a reason. Here are our main points:
We chose the current format for a reason. Here are our main points:
1
Interactivity
We think that children understand natural sciences better when they conduct experiments. Once a child operates a mannequin, he/she learns more about human body than after a lecture on anatomy.
2
Scientificity
We don't consider science throwing dry ice into water, loud explosions or colorful fire. Our programs are real: from the experiments on genetics with drosophilae to chemical synthesis of esters. Our monitors are not animators, but students and alumni of the science faculties of leading universities of Barcelona.
3
Originality
We never conduct "classic" experiments that have been shown to children in different science shows for years. Our developers are always thinking of something new to surprise you with. It's unlikely that you'll see what your children perform at our events anywhere else.
4
Variety
Every month we present a brand new program. We make it in order for you not to get bored and visit us regularly. Thus, in a year or two your child will form a complete scientific picture of the world.
5
Homework
After the event each participant gets a scientific present — an experimental set you can do at home at any time. We also collect the best materials on the topic so that your children can learn on their own.
6
New technologies
In our events we use the newest developments of modern pedagogy: quests and games, gadgets and multimedia.

Program for parents
Children always look up to you. That is why we always make a separate program for the parents where you can learn new things and have fun at the same time.
AND ALSO
We just love science. We think that there are few things in the world that are as beautiful and exciting as science. This is what helps us create new programs and refine on our product.

We are often asked about this
What does a ticket include?
A normal ticket includes programs for a child and two adults, and also a scientific gift with an interesting experiment at home.
What do I do if I have two children of different ages?
In this case, we recommend sending both children to the same group - the older one.
Are there discounts for large groups?
We offer discounts for groups of twelve children. Sounds interesting? Email us to support@smart-barcelona.com, and we help you book at a discount.
What do parents do during the workshop?
For parents we have a separate program consisting of a relaxed quiz-quiz and a scientific dissemination conference. But of course, participation is voluntary. If you want, you can do your things and come to look for your child 1 hour and 45 minutes after the start time of the program.
Full FAQ

Ticket availability
Changing the date, returning or cancelling the ticket
Buying tickets online
My children are 6 years old. Can they come?
We wouldn't recommend it. They simply wouldn't be interested.
Can siblings of different age get into the same group?
They can. We recommend the older group for both.
Can my child get into a different age group?
The age limit is a recommendation. The program is pretty much the same for both groups, it's the explanations that slightly differ. The main difference is the age of other people in the group, so if your child feels better with older or younger children, you are welcome to choose whichever one is better for him/her.
How are teams formed?
Teams are formed instantly. Your child chooses a name tag of a certain colour and automatically enters the team of children who chose the same colour.
We want our children to be in the same team.
If we see that more than five children are registered under the same adult's surname, we save the name tags of the same colour for them. If you are less than five or if the children are registered under different adults' surnames we recommend you to come 30 minutes before the show starts so that you can get the name tags of the same colour.
What do parent do during the show?
We have a special program for parents. It is a quiz and a short sci-pop lecture. Participation is not obligatory (but it's fun!). You can go about your business and pick up your child in about 1 hour 45 minutes.
Can I accompany my child and take pictures?
According to our experience, parents who accompany and take pictures distract the children from making the experiments. If you really want to shoot some photos, wait until the program is over and go to the lab with your child who will show you the equipment and tell about the experiments.
How much time in advance shall we come?
30 minutes before the program starts. You will have enough time to take off the jacket, register for the program, go through a small science quest in the lobby with the child, and enter the main room.
Do parents have to buy tickets?
No, the program is free for parents. You don't need to buy tickets.
What if I lost my ticket?
Don't worry if you lost your ticket or you can't show it to us for some other reason. When you buy the ticket, your data is saved in our database. You only have to tell us the first and last name of the person who payed for the tickets.
I see that there are no tickets left for the program, but is there a chance?..
If the group is too big, your child and other kids will not have fun. That's why we close the registration when 60 tickets are sold. If you really want to join your friends who already bought the tickets, choose any free date and come to the new program together!
And what if someone cancels their ticket?
Cancellations are rare and usually happen a day or two before the event. Instead of cancelling, a ticket can be given to friends or relatives. However, we recommend that you periodically check our website. Sometimes empty seats do appear.
Can I change the date of the ticket?
If you cannot attend the event, then at least 24 hours before the event, you can choose any other event if there are places available.
